Countdown

[Sitara]

We used to sign in at the costume shack and get day passes at the booth next to it.  Now I am told we no longer need to sign in there.  I believe we are either doing a radio sign in or sign in behind Foaming.  Do you know about the Ale Tenders meeting and pub clean?  That's where we will finalize pub assignments and be told all the pertinent info.  It is at Foaming, Aug. 15th at noon.  There will be a meeting, food and beer.  We will also clean all the pubs and do any last minute repairs and such.

Thanks for that info... no, I pretty much haven't received any information. I got the newsletter that said there was training or something on August 8 (?) but I had no idea about anything else. Sigh... thanks for keeping me informed, Sitara!

Hmm... so if we sign in behind Foaming of via radio, do we get passes elsewhere to get on the grounds....?

Hi!

There is a Shakopee Jaycee page on Facebook, I got on that one so I could stay on top of the info.. I don't have access to it from here, but if you go on my page, you should be able to find it pretty easy..

When you enter through B gate you will be able to get a one day paper pass if needed...

Thanks Muffin! I'll look into the Facebook page. I just feel like I'm missing something..!

[Sitara]

There is also a message board on www.shakopeejaycess.com and a Yahoo group called "Ale Tales"  It is better to be signed up for those than to rely on the newsletter.

Thank you, thank you! I will sign up for the Yahoo group, that should help.

  When I was out there last weekend at the shop the petting zoo people said they were going to be parking in the grove now with the Animals or at least that was the last thing that he heard, The grounds looked so Barron last weekend except for the dump trucks and workers rebuilding the food booths by Bad Manor.

Pants?

Pants? 

Pants are stupid.... 

[Captain Jack Wolfe]

For some of us, it's pants or nothing.

*opens mouth then closes it quickly* I shall not say what I am thinking.. 

... Steve and I were on the grounds yesterday.. Lots of activity about with vendors fixing up their shops, etc.. The counter at Foaming looks all nice and shiny!! Must have been refinished!! YAY!!

Being out at fest before the season or after for that matter has a very different feel to it for sure.. A little creepy, but familiar at the same time.. Steve described it as a "ghost town" and that's just what it feels like..
