Location: Running Aces Casino Hotel and Racetrack

15201 Zurich Street, Columbus, MN 55025

Our fall memory-keeping retreats have always been about focused time, friendship, encouragement, and finally making progress on the projects that matter most. This year, it feels extra special to be returning to Running Aces for Forever Memories Weekend — and we’re celebrating in style with our new Race to Remember theme. (This events is focused on digital & traditional scrapbooking/memory projects and we welcome other crafters to join us for a fun project weekend!)

Think racetrack energy, casino-luxe sparkle, cozy western touches, and warm fall retreat vibes — all wrapped around the heart of the weekend: time to work on your photos, videos, albums, scrapbooks, stories, gifts, and Forever projects.

We’ll be tying the theme into the weekend, with extra fun planned for Saturday night. Dressing up is completely optional, but we wanted to give you a heads up in case you’d like to join the fun. Think hats, boots, denim, jewel tones, sparkle, classy racetrack style, western flair, or your own creative twist. Come ready to make progress, connect with friends, and take the lead on your memories.
