Guten Tag!  The IBU Oktoberfest is coming up on September 29th and will
again be at the Walnut Woods Lodge.  The party will get underway around
1:00pm or so, but we get access at 10:00am so I am looking for
volunteers to come out and help get the place set up.  Remember that
friends and family are welcome to come on out!



Brian Lenderts has lined up a band to play for a few hours (not an
oom-pah band, I am sad to say) and I am waiting to hear from the park
ranger to see if having live music will be a problem.



David Coy (RRBC) and Jeff Bruning (Full Court Press) have both
volunteered to donate a keg of beer for the event, so the Club will not
be buying a commercial German Oktoberfest beer this year.  Thanks, guys!



Whomever has the plates, napkins, etc. from the last shindig (IBU
Open?), please let me know if we need any new supplies.



The party is a potluck, but there are basics we need Club members to
volunteer to bring:


   homebrew


   charcoal and other grilling tools
   aluminum foil for the grill (if needed)
   table linens or plastic tablecloths--something to make cleanup
easier!
   homebrew


   condiments (salt, pepper, ketchup, yellow and brown mustard, etc.)
   bratwurst
   ground beef/patties
   brat and burger buns
   homebrew


   whatever else someone suggests

If we as members agree to it, maybe the Club could pay for some of
these items?



Other than that stuff, if people could indicate what they are bringing
it might help to avoid overlap of foods.  I am going to make German
potato salad again and am going to try to bring sauerkraut as well. 
(Here's a link to an excellent sausage company that does mail-order:
https://www.bavariasausage.com/index.php  DJ turned me on to them and
they sell some excellent wurst--the weisswurst is especially good!)



That's all I got for now.  It's Friday and I'm getting thirsty!



Prost!

Mike
