Camp and Brew Update Archive Camp and Brew 2004 Wrap-up June 2004 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. -- Tommy DaComic
