[mba] FW: All Club Camp Out August 2-4

MHBA- If you got this already - my apologies. This is a FUN TIME! If you have not been to an All-Club Campout yet, for those three days it's the best beer bar in the entire state! Everyone brings their BEST homebrew, and their BEST trophy beers that they've been collecting since the previous year's campout. And the sponsoring club ALWAYS puts on a fabulous spread for Saturday dinner. (I don't know how the Northern Ale Stars are going to beat their LAST spread - a Crab and Shrimp boil!) And the Cass Lake campground is BEAUTIFUL! See you there! - Al From: T SARNE [mailto:tsarne@msn.com] Sent: Friday, June 21, 2013 7:35 PM To: Susan Ruud; cotemichael01(a)yahoo.com; Brett Glenn; Al Boyce; Steve Piatz; Jack of all Brews; homebrewfan(a)gmail.com; arkutzke(a)gmail.com; Patrick Sundberg Subject: All Club Camp Out August 2-4 Please distribute to your clubs and other contacts, thanks Come one, Come All To the All Club Camp Out!
