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.

The Inter-Club Campout will be held on July 16-18, 2004.
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.

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
