Spring TearUp 2011

[TheresaD]

This time next month (barring any issues this time) I'm planning to be waterside with a fire in the fire pit and an adult beverage in my hand. Can't wait to see everyone again this year.

That's right folks... only one month away... Brewers how are those beers coming along??? I'm looking forward to a fun night of sampling at my site (#231) on Friday night! I know of at least one person that's got a batch going right now. Anyone else?? Will there be root beer beer this year? Or perhaps birch beer beer?? There were also some really good micro brew beers there last year. I'm looking forward to trying more of those as well. Don't forget... all tear up participants are invited. If you don't like beer, come by anyway!

We will bring some stuff for the food drive. ... We hope to be picking up our '79 Sunline Sunspot a week from this coming Saturday (the 14th), and if all goes well, we'll see y'all at the TearUp. Frank

And I'll give Frank some canned goods from me when he picks up the SunSpot. If I can't be there, I can at least send the food bank some stuff they can use!

Thanks so much, very thoughtful of you Gaelen...

Ed: We'll have to remember to put Pat's name in for the prize drawing.

[frank_a]

Don't worry about that. I will insure that her name gets put in that raffle!

Bob, email me would you?

Yes, Bob & Mary, we already thought of that....

Just a reminder.....drop off Saturday Morning please......site 236



As some of you may already be aware of, we have done a food drive the past 2 years, 2009 & 2010. We started it as a way to give back something to the local community in an area that we all love & enjoy spending time in. The food pantry that we donate to is located in Lake Placid, in the basement of St Agnes Church. It is not affiliated with the church, they just use the space. They cover a very large area & they have seen more & more need over the past few years. We are very impressed by this food pantry & by the people who run it, they are lovely & caring & thankful!! We have donated quite a bit of food & some money the past 2 years.

All we ask is when you are packing up to come camping or if you run to the store while you are camping...pick up a can of tuna or a box of pasta or some other non-perishable food items or personal care products. Some people have given us one item others have given us boxes full....every little bit helps...

Please, one request....We cannot accept the food items at our campsite until Saturday morning, we will not have a spot to store the food. You can either walk it over to us & make sure you introduce yourselves or we will make a quick drive through before we head to Lake Placid....last year we filled the back of John & Clare's Escape!!! Our site is 236

As a little incentive.....Mary(of Bob & Mary) is a very talented quilter & she has donated a quilt the past 2 years & everyone who donates gets their site number placed in a drawing to win the quilt. One entry per site please, doesn't matter it you donate one item or 10 items, your site gets entered once....thanks for considering this & we hope to meet all of you new & old & Let's Fill The Truck!!!!


Some Items To Donate....to name a few

Pasta
Jars of Sauce
Mac & Ch
Peanut Butter
Tuna
Baby Food
Coffee
Juice
Personal Care Items-soap, toothpaste, etc

Wow, gang, thanks. I'm just glad I'll be able to send something along with Frank and his wife to help me feel like I'm "there" in spirit. The food drive was such a great part of the Tear-up I was able to attend, and knowing how easy it can be to help others who don't have enough...well, how can anyone not participate if they have the chance and they can spare a can of food or a box of pasta?

Kegging and bottling this weekend. Not sure if it will be labeled Moose Drool Ale or Black Fly Ale 28 Days, I have a lot to get ready....

[TheresaD]

I vote for Black Fly Ale! Next year you can make No Seeum Stout!

[mary and bob]

We had rain every day this week, and with no garage I left my gear in the trailer. So being in the high 20s today and sunny, I popped the trailer open and nearly fell over with the odour from the mildew. Yuck. The trailer and bedding are clean and packed.

Note to self....bring trash bags in case I have to pack the First-up in the rain.
