Team Duct Tape is happy to count The Breakfast Nook, of Land O’Lakes among our growing contingent of Team Duct Tape supporters. Owned and operated by the family of one of our team members, who is also an aspiring restaraunteur himself, The Breakfast Nook hopes to soon be featuring a Team Duct Tape signature dish, of which a percentage of sales will benefit the team in our quest to raise funds for our upcoming FIRST World Championship competition. We’re delighted at the prospect and can’t wait to see what we inspire!
The Breakfast Nook has also offered to host a fundraiser event for us as well. We’ll keep you posted! Thank you, Breakfast Nook! We appreciate your support and encouragement, and hope others will head out to enjoy a meal at The Breakfast Nook: The Official Restaurant of FTC Team Duct Tape!
