The Great PTTP Challenge has been rescheduled to Saturday, February 13 due to the extreme cold temperatures forecasted for this Saturday.

The Great Paint the Town Pink Challenge will now take place on Saturday, February 13 from 1-4 pm. Cost is $20/car and includes all challenge stops, snacks, and prizes for finishing the challenge. Registration will take place at The Hormel Institute on February 13, starting at 1pm and participants will return to The Hormel Institute once they have completed their challenges.

Paint the Town Pink was created ten years ago to support breast cancer research at The Hormel Institute, UMN and has raised over $2 million to support innovative cancer research projects. The Great Paint the Town Pink Challenge was created to make sure that goal continues, especially this year when COVID-19 is preventing many events from taking place.

The Great Paint the Town Pink Challenge will take you and your team all around Austin to complete challenges and fill out a Challenge bingo card to win prizes and be entered in drawings – this is a great opportunity to get your family or a group of friends out of the house to have some fun. Tasks include skeet shooting at the Cedar Valley Conservation Club, going up against an Austin Bruins Goalie, posing with a demo derby car and much more.
