Norse Nectar Meadery's Valhalla Tasting Room Announces "The Ragnarök Challenge." The Valhalla Valkyries vs. The Kzoo Whisker Crew in a Battle of Ragnarök Readiness.

Kalamazoo, Michigan – The Valhalla tasting room is thrilled to introduce “The Ragnarök Challenge,” a unique competition that will test the mettle of two rival teams as they strive to become more Ragnarök-ready by Valhalladay. The Valhalla Valkyries will go head-to-head with the Kzoo Whisker Crew, battling it out to see who can shed the most weight before Valhalladay on Saturday, October 21, 2023.

This exciting challenge will kick off with the first weigh-in on Saturday, August 19, 2023, and continue with weekly weigh-ins every Saturday from 4 pm to 6 pm throughout the competition. Participants will be required to pay $10 per person for each weigh-in.

Valhalla selected the American Red Cross as the beneficiary of this competition’s fundraising efforts. The American Red Cross holds a special place in Valhalla’s heart as they provided invaluable support to two staff members during challenging times this summer. Their assistance after a devastating house fire and a life-threatening medical issue has left an indelible gratitude Valhalla aims to express through this initiative.

Participants will follow their own weight loss plans, embracing various strategies to achieve their goals. Moreover, Missy McCullough at My Pure Health Solutions in Battle Creek, MI, has generously become a sponsor for “The Ragnarok Challenge,” offering her expertise and support to four Valhalla participants.

Valhalla invites members of the community to join in the excitement by attending the weekly weigh-ins, showing their support for the Valkyries and the Kzoo Whisker Crew, and through donations to the Norse Nectar American Red Cross page. This friendly competition encourages personal growth and self-improvement and enables the community to contribute to a meaningful cause.
