Barktoberfest (Partnering with Dogwood Acres)
2017-10-21 12:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York) | Unnamed Venue, Annapolis, MD, United States
We are partnering by Dogwood acres for their pet friendly Oktoberfest event, Saturday October 21st, a daytime event (times to be decided soon). They have been a silent auction donor for our P4P event since inception. This event will take place at the Stage One, Park Place (just like P4P), about 100 people. We are serving and brewing beers and ciders. They will compensate for all brewing ingredient expenses, and “run” and “market” the event (and provide glasses for tasting etc). Dogwood Acres will spend all ticket moneys on the event, and likely some out of pocket from their organization (its a fun community outreach event, its not a for profit event). We will have a signup sheet on this page shortly-let us know if you are interested in brewing and/or serving.
Summary of our side of the bargain: we will need about 10 kegs, and some servers with jockey boxes, you know the drill.
