Kato Show 20

Kato
This years Mankato Brewing Company show was a great show . The weather was decent and the attendance was really good . Judy and I stayed at home this year and drove up in the morning . We had to go to St . Peter first to pick up a restoration of my Grain Belt girl from Amanda ( the conservator ). Someone let the people in a little early so there was some chaos for a little bit , but we got it under control and had a great time . Several sellers reported they had one of their best shows ever and sold a lot of merchandise . The taproom was open and the walk in traffic was good as always . Sam the bar manager let me fly the drone in the building which was really fun to do . I personally didn ’ t buy much this year , but I had a grea time catching up with friends and seeing what was there . I did add a Grain Belt cardboard price board and a few other things but nothing crazy .
This show has really come into its own and become a big hit . It fills a void in the calendar for the month of November . The brewery is an excellent host and serving up some really good beers too . Next years show date is set for November 18th and it should be another great show . So keep on collecting and coming out to our shows as well as the other great shows that chapters around us put on .
