What better way to celebrate the long-awaited return of the sunshine than to tailgate at a baseball game! That's where a bunch of homebrewers and their families will be tomorrow afternoon and evening.

The tailgating lot is immediately adjacent to Midway Stadium on the west side of the ballpark. Midway is just west of Snelling on Energy Park Drive. The lot opens at 4:00, and I'll be getting there shortly thereafter to set up the grill in group lot #9, which is in the rear of the lot. It should have our name on a sign, according to Saints officials.

You can pay $5 to park in the party lot, you can find free parking on the street, or you can pay to park just east of the stadium. Wherever you park, bring your grillables, your picnic baskets, your chairs, and your homebrew to group tailgating lot #9 in the official tailgating lot, just west of the stadium.

This is not a huge event, so don't worry about finding us! If you don't have tickets (the tickets that the club bought are all spoken for), come anyway and enjoy the tailgating, then pick up a ticket at the gate (or just stay in the lot for extra tailgating!). Chances are very good that you'll get in, one way or another, and then you'll be able to sit with the group since it's very casual inside, and there will be open seats by our group.

Please e-mail me with any questions, and I hope to see many of you at the ballpark tomorrow afternoon!

Thanks,

John
