Another
Camp and Brew
has come and gone...This third one was successful in ways that matter, like
raising over $1,600.00 for
Brian’s Wish...and
in some ways that really don’t, like 4 kegs of brew consumed.
Although about
75 people filled out the Guest Register, we have heard from many who didn’t
even know we HAD one. Estimates range from 90 to over 150 actual
visitors to the camp site.
Some have
asked if taking this deal on the road to other IRL races is possible...Well,
that question might better be asked of my wife’s divorce attorney, as
funding might not allow that. (I’m kidding of course...Her attorney hasn’t
got a clue!!!)
This year we
all got a little wet, but as people were going into the track that morning,
the popular refrain was, “Well, the radio stations haven’t mentioned a
window for the race” but
Camp and Brew
accurately predicted more of a ‘Doggie Door’ of opportunity and after
swinging a few times in each direction, the race was official. The
tornadoes and monsoons that came on the heals of Rice’s win, were not too
welcome as Camp
and Brew members were frantically looking for Wynona Judd to
latch onto in case of a twister!
As Mom’s couch
fades into memory, we already have discussed what will be different next
year...Back by popular demand will be the Porta-Pottie,
Brian’s Wish,
Chez Bubba and
sidewalk chalk. Missing, we hope, will be any hint of rain.
We’ll be there
in 2005 and again invite you all to join us. The beer will flow and we
can only trust in God that Mackie and his merry band of bead seeking women
will also grace us with their presence.
