1. Learn to Homebrew Day - Saturday, November 7. Started in 1999 by the American Homebrewers Association. How do we want to grow our hobby?
2. LBG Brewfest XXX - Saturday, September 19, at Longview Public Use Area (Longview Electrical Camp on google), Ozawkie, KS. We still need keg donations, potluck side dishes for the BBQ, and eventually volunteers for the event. The new camp has over 20 RV electrical pedestals. 30th Anniversary design is decided. Shirts (pre-order, limited quantities available at the event), glasses, cozies and stickers will be available. Silence of the Hams (Chris) will be doing BBQ again. Signups are available now for side dishes, ticket counter and server. Please try to sell tickets so we can increase profit from the event.
Tickets - $55, $15 for kids/DD's. Wednesday, September 16 cutoff for purchasing tickets. You must be a paid member of LBG to donate kegs or get tickets. Last day for keg signup is August 29, midnight. We sold 65 tickets last year, we need to sell more! Thursday night of Brewfest week is Camp Dale & Pizza Night ($20 donation/camp site- available to arrive at 2-4 on Thursday). No Wednesday camping. Friday night - keg turn-ins, gumbo (Cathy, $15 per person, signup soon available). Bartender signup will be available after most kegs are registered and flights scheduled.
