It's Official - MHBA Shady Oak Road

Good morning campers! In the next few weeks, Shady Oak Road will be fitted with new signage proclaiming a 2 mile stretch of road being cleaned by a highly organized local club better know as "Minnesota Homebrewers Association." Due to font limitations, the sign split "Home Brewers" but I think your friends will get the message. Now for the highly organized part. We have 10 volunteers for cleanup operations and the roadway is a mess. In addition to the cleanup crew, we need other folks willing to support the crew primarily with a beer-food event at the end of the day. After everyone stops chuckling, the real trick of this event is to gather enough warm bodies on a particular day to walk along the roadside and get the job done. So the challenge is setting the first date and gathering the bodies. What does the collective feel like? Early afternoon during the week or week-end? We could split it up in sections but the county would appreciate it if we did it in one shot. Once we fill up the bags, we give them a call and they arrange for bag collection! So if you are just sitting around with nothing to do or are completely out of homebrew, add your name to the list, suggest a date, and get involved. I have a good supply of bright vests (required), garbage bags. There will be a short "safety program/meeting" before we start. I think we would be best to split up the group in pairs but we could also work together in mass. So there you go. The sign goes up next week so get ready to "PICK UP SOME CRAP." Don't be shy; simply reply!
