Subject: State Fair judge recruitment
Hello!
I can never keep up on who's in charge of what club these days but I'd love it if you could post something to recruit some more judges for the state fair. Also we will be sorting entries August 5th around 9 AM at the Northern Brewer warehouse (I'd update with a more exact time soon.)
https://mnstatefair.brewcomp.com/
We'd love as much help as we can get.
Feel free to direct any questions here.
Thanks!
Amanda

Hi All,
The All Club Camp-Out is less than a month away! This event is VERY family-friendly. It also has been described as “The Best Beer/Mead/Cider Bar In The Five State Area” for that Friday and Saturday night. Rare and fabulous stuff has been known to make it’s way around the campfire.

Regrettably, we’ll miss it this year. With building the new trailer, we had to delay other plans. We’re headed South that weekend. Hope to make it next time. Cheers! Nick, Liz and Graham
