Thank You for Encouraging All to Bring Ya A** to Minnesota

By now you may have seen the viral “Bring Ya A**” social sensation inspired by Minnesota Timberwolves Anthony Edward’s request to Charles Barkley to come to Minnesota for the NBA Western Conference Finals in Minneapolis. We’re finding more ways to roll out the welcome mat by creating banners to showcase in your destination and your noteworthy or iconic locations. We encourage you to participate in this fun and viral activation this summer! Minnesota is on the minds of folks across the nation, let’s welcome them and encourage them to visit. 

You may order your official “Bring Ya A**” gear at www.exploreminnesota.com/shop.

If you’re interested in participating, please fill out the form. We are printing a limited run of these banners and may implement a lottery system to fulfill requests.
