Ladies and Gentleman, ALL THIS WEEK UNTIL FRIDAY!! Drop-off your entries at Northern Brewer or Midwest. (Addresses and directions are on the website.) In 5 days, the registration deadline for the MINNESOTA STATE FAIR HOMEBREW COMPETITION is coming up on Friday, August 11, 2005. There are 20 medal categories this year, so 60 medals will be awarded, plus an awesome "Best of Show" large rosette. You may enter in any BJCP Beer, Mead or Cider category and you may enter one beer per BJCP sub-category. We need your entries!! VOLUNTEER AT THE CONTEST! The competition is also looking for volunteers to help judge or steward at the judging on Saturday, August 19, 2006. EVERYONE is welcome - they will pair novice judges with more experienced judges. If you're thinking that you'd like to find out what beer judging is all about or if you're thinking of taking the Beer Judge Certification Program (BJCP) exam prep class this fall, come out and judge! You will get retro-credit for your judging once you take the BJCP test. If you're too shy to judge, you can "Steward", which involves helping the judges. We need Judges! We need Stewards!
