Attention Minnesota Homebrewers!
The MHBA committed to keeping a stretch of Shady Oak Road relatively clean.
MnDOT posted a thank you sign a sign and our group cheerfully cleaned up
the 2 mile stretch for the first time last fall. Mike Behrendt is
planning a true feast and
volunteered to be the next host for the get together.
The next cleaning session is Saturday, May 17th.
Let’s meet at 9am in the parking lot on the west side of Shady Oak Road
about 1/2 block north of Excelsior Blvd. I’ll have home roasted
coffee and a box of donuts to get you started. We also have the safety
speech, fancy vests, empty garbage bags plus words of encouragement.
After cleaning (around 11:30), stop by Mike's house for some beer and
lunch. The address is:
9060 Douglas Drive, Eden Prairie. Phone is 952-949-2268.
Take Shady Oak south, get on 212 South.
Stay in the left 2 lanes and where it splits with 5, stay on
312 (it's a fairly new road and may not be on your map).
Exit at Eden Prairie Road and turn right at the end of the
exit ramp.
Go South to Pioneer Trail and turn right.
Turn right on Braxton and another quick right turn onto
Douglas Drive.
It's the 5th house on the left with the driveway that curves
in front of the door.
Let us know if you can make it so we purchase enough donuts, lunch, and brew
enough coffee and beer. Remember to wear heavy shoes or boots and bring
gloves. You can keep any treasure you find!
So mark your calendars, send us a message, or just show up. It
would really be helpful to have possibly 4 - 6 crews with vehicles so we can
section the road into small bits. Bring you cell phones. See
you May 17th!
Sincerely,
Rick
Oftel and Mike Behrendt
