Wood Sign Painting Party Fundraiser to Benefit Alexander Wrestlers

Sunday, February 25, at 2 p.m. Tyrra Clinkenbeard of Clinkenbeard Creative will be holding one of her fun and easy wood sign painting parties in Alexander, North Dakota. It will be held at city hall, 112 Manning Avenue West. Tickets are $30 each and the proceeds will go towards assisting the Alexander Youth Wrestling Club in acquiring new practice mats. There are limited spots available and they are going fast. Those who wish to attend must contact Tyrra at 760-577-9482 to register by February 19.

Clinkenbeard Creative is a budding new business out of Williston, North Dakota. With it, Tyrra specializes in this particular craft. She acquires the wood for her projects from local vendors but must order away for the rest of her supplies. She usually does private parties, women's luncheons and ladies' nights but she will go to public events, if invited, as well. Tyrra's son is a member of the Alexander Comets Youth Wrestling Club. When she heard of their need, Tyrra decided she could help the club through her business.

Club president, Cindy Getzlaff says their Youth Wrestling Club has doubled in size this past year. The practice mats will cost $500 each and they are planning on getting two. They have also had to acquire more uniforms and gear for the new wrestlers. "It's great to have the growth," Cindy said. " Just need to try to get enough gear and coaches to accommodate our numbers."

Although the parties Tyrra usually holds are for women, any men who wish to attend this one are welcome to come. Everyone is encouraged to bring their own snack or drink. She cannot offer ticket refunds. However, if someone purchases a ticket but finds they cannot attend the event she would be happy to let them take their kit to do at home.
