Preparations are underway for the U.S. Bank/Minnesota Timberwolves Summer Caravan, which is set to hit the road Monday, July 24 beginning in Mankato.

The U.S. Bank/Timberwolves Caravan, presented by FSN North and Charter Communications, is designed to thank Wolves fans in the Upper Midwest for their continued support. It features a vast array of activities in three communities outside the Twin Cities metro area. Among the events slated for the tour are golf outings and luncheons, public basketball demonstrations and autograph sessions. Following the July 24 outing in Mankato, the caravan will roll on to Alexandria on Tuesday, July 25 and to Brainerd on Wednesday, July 26.

Timberwolves players Ricky Davis and Mark Madsen along with assistant coach Rex Kalamian are scheduled to participate in the caravan. In addition, Crunch, the team's official mascot, along with front-office staff and Wolves' television play-by-play announcer Tom Hanneman, are slated to participate.
