Hello to all my fellow "Batchers". It's hard to believe we are half- way through the year already. It seems like yesterday when Mr. Holm "handed me the gavel" and sent me on my way. If I'm going to run this thing into the ground, I better get a move on it! On Saturday, June 23 several of the Border Batch members attended the Craft Brew Fest in Winnebago. Except for the crowded tents, it was a great time. There were many different vendors with even more different brews. I didn't find any I liked until I tasted the second one! The 28th one wasn't very good either, but by the time I got to the 32nd one they were tasting good again. Steven"Bear" and Sue Miner were gracious enough to host everyone at their estate/museum. There were tours of the garage, the basement, and my wife even got one of the neighbor lady (Sue's mom's) flower garden. If the brew fest sounded good to you, you should have been at the after-party. The best time I've had in a long time, although I felt a little breeze towards the end of the night! ;) We had a very productive meeting at Mowens (Andy's). I know he liked having us there. It was good to spread the club's joy around town. We talked quite a bit about "that fest to the West". It was put out there that we will try to get a pig to roast. I think that would be a huge draw. People love hog roasts. If you have any leads for somebody to give us a hog or to roast it for us, let myself, Larry Holm, or Dan Stueber know. I think there are plenty of roasters in the club to serve it in. We also got a look at the Stubiefest mugs... Some idiot ordered the mugs too small. They are 14 oz, but look like 7oz. Fill it twice... it's all good!! That's the last time we let that dumba_ _ order the mugs. Better yet, we should impeach him as president! There were a lot of nice Schells items at the auction out at the New Ulm fairgrounds on June 30th. I hope people got some of the stuff they wanted. I was there early in the day just to look, before all the deep pockets showed up.The Aug. 18th meeting has been moved to Rollie Tauer's place. We will finalize Stubiefest plans at this meeting. Please make a note of this. If you show up at Ted's, you may be all alone and you know what they say about people who drink alone: "There's more beer for yourself."( Isn't that what they say?) Food for thought: I can tell if I like a beer after the first sip, but I always drink the whole thing just to be sure! The quote of the newsletter from t.v. show "Cheers": "Can I pour you a beer, Mr. Peterson?" "It's a little early isn't it Woody?" "For a beer?" "NO, for stupid questions!" See you @ the meeting!
