We have several things going on around beer in Pagosa Springs right now and I want to send out a few reminders. Please read the items below and follow up accordingly if you’re interested.
- HOPS member Doug Neel recently published a book, The Food and Feasts of Jesus: Inside the World of First Century Fare, with Menus and Recipes, and he will be signing copies of the book and talking about it this evening at 6 pm at St. Patrick's Episcopal Church in Pagosa Springs at 225 South Pagosa Blvd. Get more information about the book at http://www.amazon.com/The-Food-Feasts-Jesus-Religion/dp/144221290X.
- We have a homebrew competition coming up at the Archuleta County Fair in Pagosa Springs next week. We can accept entries from residents outside the county, too, and contact me or Randy if you need to get beer to use for the competition. The entry is free and we only need one 12-oz bottle. Drop your entries off at the extensions office at the county fairgrounds on Wednesday, August 1, and judging will take place on Thursday. You can win ribbons and cash prizes as well as great feedback on your beer from professional brewers. Get more information on the entry process at http://archuletacountyfair.com/exhibitor-rules-and-regulations/.
- The Archuleta County Fair runs a beer garden during the fair and we need volunteers to help man the booth for four-hour shifts. Contact me or Randy if you are interested in signing up for a shift.
