Hey guys, did anyone happen to grab my lime green stap bag yesterday? I had it with the boxes for the merch table. It had a faucet and disconnect to faucet adapter, as well as a few other odds and ends.

Edit: The smaller bar has a pin lock set of disconnects that are mine. I think tap 8.

Yes we did sell I think around 14 tickets. Mark's "One Stop Mother's Day Shop" was a success. Numerous Drinker shirts sold along with 2 bales of schwings.

Mike was the straight guy, I was just the barker. ie "You in the blue shirt!! Come buy stuff." "You completely forgot about Mothers Day until you read the sign. A gold necklace, she will love it." " If you send your kid to school in a Beer Nuts shirt you will get Monday afternoon off of work, and get to meet his principal. The weather is supposed to be fantastic."

I have 9 XL shirts, and 5 XXL of the orange Festival Poster shirts left. I think that I have everyone covered that brought beer to Benz fest. If you are a member in good standing, and can wear an XL, or XXL shirt I will have one for you at the meeting. Wear the shit out of it. It is High School Graduation season. While I do not support graduations with alcohol at them, I support the hell out of wearing the shirt.

If you are going to attend the "Ale Olympics" June 3rd, and supply beer for the event you should get a shirt.

People love our beer.
People love that we are out in the community promoting our craft.
People love that we have a social conscious.
Go to events. Be visible. People want to talk to us about beer. Talk to them.
PROMOTE OUR FESTIVAL!!!

Pat, your mead went fast. It was fantastic. Mark and Mike set a sales record I think. We discuss the fest at the meeting Thursday and get ready for the next one.

FYI, I will bring kegs and other miscellaneous items left at the festival to the meeting Thursday unless you want to contact me to pick up before hand. The kegs left were mostly empty. We poured a lot of beer Saturday!
