TFD: Allison Stokke, other Olympic hopefuls, pole vaulting on Brit's Pub rooftop Saturday

August 26, 2014 at 11:41AM

We're not sure exactly how this is going to work — we expect to sort that all out as the week goes on — but we do know this: There is going to be pole vaulting on the rooftop of Brit's Pub in downtown Minneapolis on Saturday.

There are many divisions throughout the day, leading up to a professional competition at night with several Olympic hopefuls competing — including Allison Stokke, who caused somewhat of an Internet stir seven years back.

It's free. It's pole vaulting on a roof. There will be beer. You could do worse on a Saturday night.
