Independence Brew B Q

[tony b]

I'm planning to attend. Carpooling would be OK.

Are we going to take the bar, or just the jockey box again (i.e., is the trailer going to get it's test run?)

We are taking the Jockey box only this time.

Just got info from John about the set-up, etc.

Information you need to know:

This year we will be awarding a banner to the most popular brew. To facilitate voting each beer is numbered. Voting will end at 6:00 pm and we will award the banner to the winner before the Brew Zone closes at 7:00 pm.

The Brew Zone will open promptly at 3:00 pm. We recommend you arrive by 2:00 pm to get set up.

We will provide a tent, table, tub, and ice.

Directions (if you need them): Come into town on Hwy 150 (3rd Ave SE). Take a left on 1st St E (By BankIowa). Take the next right on to 2nd Ave. NE (by Hartig Drug). Go north on 2nd Ave NE and take a left on 5th St NE. Go two blocks and you will run right into the park. There will be a gate – just open it and come in. There is a pavilion there where we will be and I will help get you located and set up.

How did Saturday's event go?

[whitedj]

It went great. The crowd up there is an interesting mix... always a party.

They likes the drinker shirts and we drummed up some interest in our festival for next weekend.

Other than Dan's truck breaking down on the way home, it went very well. Great Weather!! Decent crowd. Unfortunately, no good end of the day drunk stories this year. The shocker was that Eichenberry didn't win People's Choice this year. He's slipping!!! Surprised that we brought home as much beer as we did; but hey, more for our Festival!!!
