Wisconsin State Fair Judging opportunity

I got this in the mail today from the Wisconsin State Fair, for all you newbie BJCP judges (and old-bie ones too!) - Al --------------------------------- Dear BJCP Judge, This letter is an invitation for you to judge or steward at this year's WI State Fair Homebrew Competition - a BJCP certified event. This event will be held Saturday, May 31st, 2003 at the East Exhibit Hall (near the Cream Puff area) of the WI State Fair Park Grounds, West Allis, WI (just west of Milwaukee, WI). This year is the first year that the WI State Fair Homebrew Competition has adopted the standard BJCP categories for entries & judging. One of the many moves being made to make this event one of the great homebrew competitions of the area. Last year's event had approximately 150 entries, and this year we're anticipating approximately 180+ entries. The Competition's rules & regulations can be found at www.beerbarons.org for your reference. Feel free to take a look at them and get a feel for how this competition is coming along. This is a qualified BJCP event, and I'd like to ensure all the judges & stewards that they shall receive their earned BJCP points for volunteering at this event. The event starts at 9am, and includes a potluck lunch that we hold with the Wisconsin Vintners Association, who is also holding their vintner's competition at the same location. Parking passes are available by request, and directions to the WI State Fair grounds are at http://wistatefair.com/static/sf2/gethere/gethere.html and directions to the East Exhibit Hall are at http://wistatefair.com/static/sf2/facrentals/eastexhall.html. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at (mobil/home 414-807-5230) or at belskyc(a)msoe.edu. Also, if you know anyone else that would be interested in judging or stewarding, by all means pass this information on to him or her. I hope to see you there at the Competition.
