” Since I haven ’ t heard from our new Prez-Gary Sprenger I will assume he ’ s busy building that wall on the Iowa-Minnesota border , to keep us Iowan ’ s from coming over the border to get all the Minnesota beer and breweriana . So I will try to cover some of the topics that I ’ m sure he would be talking about . Last year was another good year for the chapter . We had a pretty decent day and turnout for our Spring Show at Schell ’ s again . We had some good chapter meetings including one at Schell ’ s new Starkellar and one at the new Oswald Brewing Co . in Winnebago . Our big neighbor to the North , The Northstar Chapter had some great shows and the big one we call Guzzle- N-Twirl was attended and enjoyed many in the Border Batch . We supported the Nordlager Boys again this year with some of our club members attending their Cloquet Show . In November the Border Batch hosted a brand new event at the Mankato Brewing Company in North Mankato . This show was very well attended for a first show with about 30 vendors and good walk through traffic was generated by the ad we placed in the Mankato shopper . We had people from as far away as Ankeny and Sioux City , Iowa as well as good turn out from Minnesota . Lots of cools breweriana changed hands and everyone enjoyed the beer and brewery atmosphere . Next year we will look into moving the show to the second weekend of November so the deer hunters can attend , that is unless they ’ re a poor shot and still trying to get a deer . Watch for information in an upcoming issue of Brewings . The annual Christmas Party was a great time again this year with lots of good food , old beer tasting , micro beer exchange , auction and raffle . A big thanks to the raffle committee for all their work to help the club with funds to operate on . We ’ ll be looking at some upcoming dates for a chapter meeting this spring prior to our Brewery Show at Schell ’ s . A location will also need to be selected . Some possible dates are March 18th , April 1st or 8th . Now that this is done I ’ ll get it off to the printer and uploaded to the internet . Then I may drive up to the border and see how the great wall is coming ?
