” 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?
