Minnesota Music Scene’s Best Moments & Stories: Renee Hantge

March 21, 2019 By RiverSong

RiverSong is Minnesota’s homegrown music festival on the music scene for a decade. It’s proudly one of Minnesota’s most affordable music festivals, where we work hard to offer value-priced tickets to make RiverSong affordable to everyone. Thanks to our sponsors, volunteers, and attendees, RiverSong continues to be a “must-attend” festival in the heart of summer. 

So Renee, you’ve been a generous sponsor and Bronze Supporter of RiverSong for many years. Inquiring minds want to know:

What is your RiverSong story?  

Tri County Water Conditioning became involved with RiverSong through our Salesman (Greg Huse). He and his wife, Catherine are very active volunteers for this event. Greg asked if Tri County had any interest in donating drinking water for this community event for FREE. After several discussions, it was quickly determined that “YES” Tri County Water would love to donate water coolers with bottled water for spectators/volunteers/staff to stay well hydrated during hot days of outdoor entertainment.

Initially festival goers brought their own water bottles. While they still have the option to do so, the “hydration station” has evolved into RiverSong selling branded water bottles that can be filled for free at one of the water stations by volunteers. I’m not sure how many years it has been that we have donated water coolers and bottles of water, but our company loves hearing from the locals who attended the event how nice it was to have FREE drinking water. To this day Greg and his wife Catherine still volunteer for the event, and Greg still lines up the water coolers and bottled water with Tri County Water. We hear the hydration station is a festival favorite, and we’re proud to be a part!
