Love Pizza and Puzzles?  Enjoy This Fun Event in Rochester This Weekend

A few years ago, on New Year's Eve, my kids and I went to Chaotic Brewery in Kasson and got 3rd place in a puzzle competition.  That was the day I realized there are some pretty competitive puzzle champions out there...and the fact that we got 3rd place was all luck.
