Court orders Winnebago, Minn. event center to cancel 'New Years Eve Bash' By FOX 9 Staff WINNEBAGO, Minn. (FOX 9) - An events center in southern Minnesota has been ordered by a court not to go forward with its plans for a New Year's Eve party, after a lawsuit brought by Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison. According to the attorney general's office, the Carlson Event Center in Winnebago had planned a "New Years Eve Bash" for Thursday to mark the end of the year -- despite Governor Walz's COVID-19 pause limiting gatherings at event centers and other venues. This week, Attorney General Ellison brought a suit against the venue, asking a court for a restraining order against the Carlson Event Center.
