So this years fair competition will be a BLAST! I want to try and get a bunch of the club members to go down there and represent! Last year we had Craig, Bob, and myself and we walked away with about 8 ribbons or so. The best part is when you loose, you get to drink a beer! Its like a beer drinking game, of sorts. So I highly recommend that you come on down and enter some beers. And hey, you enter 1 beer for $6.00 and you get two free tickets to the fair. That is a STEAL right there. Have yourself and your wife enter a beer and get tickets for the whole fam. See the link below. http://www.sdfair.com/fair/pdf/09entry_beer.pdf

I am in. But this year I am leaving the family at home, actually, maybe bring my son. I took that family one year. It was a pain in the a$$ to carry the extra bottles around while spending time with the family.

See I bring the fam, but just in another car. They get to go around and do what ever they want while I hang around and drink beer.

Registrion is now!  You only have about 2 months to register your beers for the competition!

Oh yea, and I plan on having a TVHA spot set up, and you can leave your beers at our "Site" while you go visit the fair.    I plan on bringing someone easy up and setting up our site nice and early.

I think Erics wife is happy to have the baby to spend time with, I'm sure the baby is more mature.
