Interclub Campout 2004 RESPOND BY JULY 9 please

Okay folks, now that the Mashout is over, AHA Nationals has come to an end, and I finally returned from Las Vegas (still not a millionaire)- it's time to nail down the Interclub Campout 2004. The dates and specifics are contained in the attached email below sent in April. Here is what I need. I would like people to respond to me if you are planning to attend. Also include how many people are coming. This can be done individually or if a representative from a club wants to tally up the club's members who are attending, that would be fine also. Please include names of the people attending. Please respond by July 9, 2004. Some planning is involved, so your prompt response would greatly help the organizers of this event. Please respond to this email even if you have already told me you were coming. I want to make a final list and don't want to miss anyone. Feel free to respond if you are not planning to attend. Then I know you at least received the invitation. If we have enough interest, an equipment swap might be a good thing for Saturday afternoon. Let me know with your responses. Not sure we can duplicate the fun had with last year's spontaneous game of Fire Jenga but we can try. If anyone has a source of scraps from a wood shop bring them along. Get ready to share some great times with your fellow brewers. There will be plenty of wonderful beers there also. Don't forget the Master of Malt competition. Each participating club has the opportunity to submit one beer in each category. The competition will be headed by last year's winner, THE infamous Wayne Theuer! The camp-out styles will be: open lager open ales open meads open Belgian beer. They will be judged in the best of show format. The samples can come from kegs, growlers, bottles, etc. Samples will be labeled as to what type of beer/mead they are. I assume 2 bottles for each entry will be required. Wayne, let us know if this information is correct. Let me know if you have any questions.

It will be held at the: St. Croix State Park Head of the Rapids Group Center Near Hinckley, MN It will be a little different than previous years. Check out the website below for more details. http://summersizzlerfriends.homestead.com/Campout2004.html We will be sharing the site with another group who has graciously invited us to join them. There are bunk houses, showers, a large lodge, professional style kitchen and more. There will also be a charge this year for use of the facility and cleaning supplies. The charge initially is $35 per adult. This cost will likely go down as the number of attendees goes up. Something will be decided about people who will only be there for one night. Likely there won't be a charge for day visitors. There will also be the St. Park access fee, $10per vehicle I think? Sorry for the minimal information. More details will be sent out soon. Maps and stuff like that. Until then you can direct any questions or concerns to me at: cstock(a)barr.com Please send this to any other area club that may be interested. Thanks Curt Stock St. Paul Homebrewers Club
