Cheers to Chester is an annual party, sponsored by Ski Hut and hosted by Bent Paddle, for Chester Bowl and the Growing Up Chester campaign to renovate and expand the Thom Storm Chalet. You are officially invited!
All proceeds from the event go towards the Chalet renovation and expansion that is in progress and will be finished this winter. We are down to our final $200,000 left to raise- will you help us get to the finish line?
The event, held between 6 and 8:30 pm on Thursday, September 10th, features live music, beverages available for purchase from Bent Paddle, and food available for purchase from the Burger Joint.
The live music at the event features Two T’s in a Pod from 6-6:30, and Chester favorites Breanne Marie & the Front Porch Sinners from 6:30-8:00. More details about the music are at the bottom of this post.
You can also win a e-bike and more! We are raising money at this event by selling raffle tickets. Ski Hut has donated TONS of prizes including a grand prize of an e-bike! The more $10 tickets you buy, the greater your chance to win, all while giving to a good cause! Plus, buying multiple tickets could give you BOGO cards and other perks at Bent Paddle. According to state law, tickets can be purchased by cash or check only. Bent Paddle does have a cash machine on site.
Can’t make the event? You can buy your tickets in advance from Ski Hut (available soon, but Bent Paddle perks only available at the event), and you do not need to be present to win.
In the four years of the event, we have raised nearly $20,000! This is in addition to the $30,000 Ski Hut has also donated directly, and the $20,000 donated by founder Wes Neustel. Thank you Ski Hut for your generosity!
We hope you join us at Cheers to Chester and have a good time benefitting a good cause.

Mother-daughter duo Two T’s in a Pod perform from 6-6:30. They play charming children’s songs, pop covers, and originals on guitar and harmonica. Together, Breanne and Anya Tepler create a sound that is unadorned, letting both of their personal vocals shine through. The pair’s single, “It’s Time to Go to Bentleyville,” is performed each year at Bayfront on the Bentleyville playlist. The duo has made an appearance at FinnFest, on Two Harbor’s Community Radio’s Beat Farm program, Wild State Cider Family Jam, Pikkujoulu, and other events.
Breanne Marie & The Front Porch Sinners deliver high-energy Americana jams and soulfully sentimental ballads, and will play from 6:30-8:00. Featuring singer/songwriter and sometimes trumpeter Breanne Marie on lead vocals, the band blends traditional pedal steel and fiddle with guitar lines, driving bass and drums which Americana Highways described as “a brilliant blend of 90s indie and country.
