Gather, relax and enjoy time with friends and family: It’s time to tip our hats and say thanks for another year of hard work and dedication to Missouri State.

Kick off Staff Appreciation Week with a celebration in Mother’s backyard from 5-7 p.m. June 12. Bring your family and colleagues to Mother’s Brewing Company, 215 S. Grant Ave. for a night of boots, brats and beers.

Kick up your heels

At the event, kick up your spurs or enjoy a relaxed atmosphere with friends, family and colleagues. We’ll have family-friendly food and the whole space to spread out and enjoy.

Mother’s Brewing will be offering $2 off all Mother’s beverages (beer, seltzer, cider) with a valid MSU faculty/staff BearPass ID.

We’ll also have a selection of complimentary non-alcoholic beverages and snack items available for MSU faculty, staff and guests (while supplies last). You can also bring your own dinner picnic if you prefer.

The Mother’s Backyard area boasts seating, a covered patio and a children’s playground area. Seating is available on a first come first served basis. Lawn chairs and picnic blankets are welcome.

In case of inclement weather, we’ll move inside to Mother’s Barrel Room.

All throughout Staff Appreciation Week, enjoy $1 off all Mother’s beverages on site with valid MSU ID.
