[IBU] Brewfest

[Mike Edwards]

Yes!  Let's hope BOTH rivers stay in their banks!  Increased volume in
the Des Moines will impact the Raccoon somewhat and businesses like ours
are very concerned this week.  Our plant was down by the bus barns in
'93 and there was about 6' of water in the place.  If the levees by
Water Works hold, we will be OK, but it's pretty freakin scary.
