Pot Luck Picnic Social--June 14th

All members and their families are invited to attend a pot luck picnic social Sunday, June 14 at Elk Creek Resort (where we had it last year). Mike will bring the beer--he will have sample kegs of specialty beer for members to try of and see what we'd like to offer at the tent during Sommerfest. Carl announced he will try out his new speedo, so members are advised to bring blindfolds.

This starts at noonish and ends when people are tired or the beer runs out, whichever comes first. See you there!

STRUT YOUR STUFF AT THE TENT!

We are pleased to announce that we will host the the Fair's first all-ages “Chicken Games” to be held at the Familiar Blue-and-White Tent at the Central States Fairgrounds on Wednesday, August 20 at 5pm.

These events, organized by the Fair's own poultry barn, are a fun family friendly way to get crazy! Jeanine Bockwold, poultry barn superintendant, states, “Last year we had our 3rd Annual Rooster Crowing contest, and also added the Fur and Feather Fashion Show, Chick-Olympics for kids, which included egg races, egg toss, and the chicken scratch. Also we did our first Strut, Cluck and Crow contest ...the object is to do the best impression of chicken and or rooster. I kept thinking how this would be so much fun if it was combined with the German tent!”

We agree, and we'll see you there!
