We will be touring hives, learning about beekeeping, extracting honey, and of course, MAKING MEAD! Read the details in the August Boiler. MEAD DAY PARAPHRENALIA FOR SALE Mead Day shirts, caps, tote bags, etc are on sale at COST at http://www.cafepress.com/meadday . This will only be available through Saturday, so get your Mead Day merchandise now if you want it. MEAD BUS TO ELK RIVER We are also sponsoring a bus to the Apiary, departing Midwest Homebrewing at 8:45am. So far, we have only 12 people - we need 15 to make this financially feasible ($15 each), we can take up to 34 people. Here is who I have signed up so far: Boyce, Al Exire LaTour, Gera Hatcher , Brian Hatcher , Helen Imbertson, Jim Moranz, Mike Moranz, Sue Piatz, Steve Sines, Janis Smith, Chris Wentworth, Scott Williams, Beth If you're not on this list, and want to ride the Mead Bus (and if you're going to Mead Day, you do NOT want to be driving home) - RSVP to me TODAY! We will meet at 8:30am this Saturday, Aug 5, in the Midwest Homebrewing parking lot, and leave Elk River at 2pm, probably arriving at Midwest by about 3pm. Good idea to bring some NON-mead beverages for the bus ride home so you'll be fit to drive upon arriving at Midwest. - Al ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Electronic Privacy Notice.
