The Linn County Fair 2018

Post by Edberg »

The Linn County Fair has a home brewing contest they do every year. I am the chair of the event. I would like to open it up to the group. If you have not been up there it is a new air conditioned building with coolers and a kitchen. After attending the last several meetings I think it would be a great chance to exhibit your home brews and connect with other brewers in the area. If anyone is interested in judging beer or wine let me know. I am trying to get judges found and confirmed. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks
Chad

Home Brew Contest will be June 30th. I will say entries will be taken starting at 8 AM and Judging starting at 9. This years information has not been officially updated and released. Planning on following the same rules and set classification as last year. http://thelinncountyfair.com/wp-content ... tition.pdf is the information we currently have. I am open for suggestions to improve.

Thanks
Chad

Would someone be able to take my entries up? It looks like you can only deliver entries that morning and I won't be able to.

Can I meet up with someone to take a couple of entries up? I'll be in CR Thursday evening and could drop them off or meet.
