We cordially invite you to a gathering of true-hearted conservatives at the Annual Dinner of the St. Croix Review.

The dinner will be held on October 17, 2025 in the Garden Room at the Lowell Inn in Stillwater, MN. The schedule for the event is as follows: 

2:30 PM - 4:30 PM Panel Discussion on the topic High Culture and the Right. 

4:30 - 5:30 Break

5:30 - 6:30 Social Hour 

6:30 - 7:30 Dinner 

7:30 - 9:00 Keynote Address by Josiah Lippincott

8:00 AM Breakfast at Lowell Inn

Our keynote speaker Josiah Lippincott is a major emerging voice on the young Right. He has written for The American Conservative and other prominent publications and can be found on Substack under the handle Regime Critic. Lippincott specializes in immigration reform, national sovereignty and military affairs. The topic of his speech will center on the illegal immigrant crisis in America and the policies necessary to re-establish America’s territorial integrity.     

The panel discussion will feature the Chairman of the Board of Religion & Society Mike Swisher, the Associate Editor of the St. Croix Review Derek Suszko and Minnesota-based epic poet Bill Carpenter, author of the poem Ethandun. The format of the panel discussion is modeled after popular conservative seminar meetings like the Philadelphia Society. Each of the speakers will give a 15-20 address and the topic and we will open to audience Q&A. 

During the break and social hour, we encourage out-of-state guests to experience the small- town charms of Stillwater and the venue. We will gather for dinner at 6:30. At 7:30, Josiah Lippincott will make his keynote address to be followed by an audience Q&A. 

We invite guests to join us the morning of October 18 at 8:00 AM for breakfast at the Lowell Inn for lively follow-up discussion. 

The Lowell Inn has a parking garage next to the Inn that our guests can use free of charge. The cost of the dinner is $50 per person. Guests may pay at the door or mail a check. Alternatively, guests may pay by clicking the button below:
