ADVENT CALENDAR BOXES HAVE ARRIVED! And we're offering a brand new design. (See picture, showing the white-on-red holiday sweater knit design, with snow flakes and pine trees.

Tis' the season for getting the prized Museum of Root B**r soda pop advent calendar for a friend, a loved one, your family, or for yourself! (Why not?) Twenty-four perforated openings reveal a new flavor or variety each day, with random numbering to maintain a consistent balance of weight in the box.

Perpetuating, Preserving, and Celebrating the Phenomenon of Root B**r

Our Museum Welcomes Over 10,000 Annually!
UPDATE: 321 Pledges Still Needed To Avoid Kickstarter Failure

Imagine 10,000 people paying you a visit within the span of one year. Big number, right? When the museum’s primary collections contributor, Vince Payne, used to show off his basement display of treasured root b**r items, it was for a handful of family members or close friends. Now, his collection adorns the one-and-only public root b**r museum.

Who could have guessed 10,000 curious folks each year would be interested in a museum dedicated to the history of root b**r? Well, that’s exactly what it’s come to at the Museum of Root B**r in Wisconsin Dells, WI. And that doesn’t count the root b**r-only crowd that never goes into the museum!

You can probably imagine the maintenance, the bills, the staffing, and the added expense of this year’s expansion. This is why we hope you can support this fundraiser, which has only five days left. Click the link, or scroll down to see the several REWARD LEVELS to choose from. Though, at a minimum, we need 321 more $60 backers.

For $60, be one of our fans who 1) puts their name on this 2026 fundraiser and 2) gets the very cool 5th Anniversary “I ❤️Root B**r” T-shirt shipped to your door to show your support.

* CLICK LINK to be taken to our Kickstarter campaign page.
* Select “BACK THIS CAMPAIGN”
* Scroll and choose “PLEDGE $60” (or more)

Thank you so much for considering
backing our museum expansion!

Let’s get this done! I will email each day over the next week (or until we reach our goal) to update you on the progress of this final effort. I’ll be crossing my fingers there are enough of you willing and able to give the Museum of Root B**r this boost!
