FW: Last Call for All Club Camp Out - Aug 2-4, 2013 - mba

19 Jul 2013

MHBA Members-
The All-Club Minnesota Beer campout will be held Fri-Sun, Aug 2-4, 2013 in
Cass Lake, MN.  If you HAVEN'T been to this yet - GET YOURSELF UP THERE!  It
is a RIOT of a good time, camping with home brewers from all over Minnesota
(and North Dakota.)
*Camp Nushka is a BEAUTIFUL campground, a former State Park site - and we'll
have it ALL to ourselves!
* On a lake - so bring your swim suit and water wings!
* We have a fun mini-competition on Saturday (Categories: Ales, Lagers,
Belgians, and Meads)
* Beers brought to the campfires by all of the attendees make it the BEST
beer bar in the 5-State area for that weekend!
* Fire Jenga may make a re-appearance (you have to see it to understand it)
* The Saturday Night dinner is provided by the sponsoring club - the
Northern Ale Stars.
You'll be sorry if you miss this!

Subject: Last Call for All Club Camp Out
Hi Everyone...the time of the camp out is near, so this is the last
call...please forward on to your club members or anyone else you think would
be interested.
If you've already signed up, no need to do so again, can't wait to see you.
If you have not signed up, please use the contact info below and do so soon.
We want to make sure we have food for you.
See all details below:
Come one, Come All To the All Club Camp Out!
Yes, it's that time of year again, the weather is warming up (sort of), the
mosquitos are out in force and it's time for a camp out with great people,
great food and, of course, great beer.
Details
*       Friday August 2-Sunday August 4 (Arrive anytime after 1 pm)
*       Camp Nushka (just east of Cass Lake, MN in the beautiful Chippewa
Forest, on the shores of Cass Lake)
*       Many spaces available for tents, some camper sites as well.
*       Bring your own camping gear and food for the weekend (Saturday night
meal provided) plus beer to share (kegs okay, we'll have jockey boxes
available)
*       Cost $20 per person (cash or checks accepted; make payable to
Northern Ale Stars)
*       This is a rustic site, no running water or electricity (drinking
water will be available) so plan accordingly.  What the camp might lack in
modern amenities, it more than makes up for in beauty and charm.

your club in the categories of  Lagers, Ales, Belgians, Meads).  See if your
club can take home the coveted trophy keg)
