AUGUST MhBA MEETING THIS SATURDAY
The August meeting of the MhBA is this Saturday, August 5th.  In celebration of AHA National Mead Day, we will be holding the meeting at the Russ and Winnie Johnson Apiary in Elk River, from 10am-2pm.  We will be touring hives, learning about beekeeping, extracting honey, and of course, MAKING MEAD!  Read the details in the August Boiler.

MEAD DAY PARAPHRENALIA FOR SALE
Mead Day shirts, caps, tote bags, etc are on sale at COST at http://www.cafepress.com/meadday .  This will only be available through Saturday, so get your Mead Day merchandise now if you want it.

MEAD BUS TO ELK RIVER
We are also sponsoring a bus to the Apiary, departing Midwest Homebrewing at 8:45am.  So far, we have only 12 people - we need 15 to make this financially feasible ($15 each), we can take up to 34 people.  Here is who I have signed up so far:

Boyce,  Al
Exire LaTour, Gera
Hatcher , Brian
Hatcher , Helen
Imbertson, Jim
Moranz, Mike
Moranz, Sue
Piatz, Steve
Sines, Janis
Smith, Chris
Wentworth, Scott
Williams, Beth

If you're not on this list, and want to ride the Mead Bus (and if you're going to Mead Day, you do NOT want to be driving home) - RSVP to me TODAY!  We will meet at 8:30am this Saturday, Aug 5, in the Midwest Homebrewing parking lot, and leave Elk River at 2pm, probably arriving at Midwest by about 3pm.  Good idea to bring some NON-mead beverages for the bus ride home so you'll be fit to drive upon arriving at Midwest.
