Here’s a great opportunity to have a good breakfast and get a ride to and from Schell’s Bockfest on February 25th. Thanks to Jeff for reminding me to post this:

This year, the Saint Paul Jaycees have teamed together with Mark Van Wie (of The Happy Gnome and The Muddy Pig) to organize a bus trip to Bockfest at Schell’s Brewery in New Ulm. For the low price of $40 per person, you will receive admission into the festival on Schell’s grounds, breakfast at The Happy Gnome, and motorcoach transportation to and from the event! This is a great deal — you don’t need to worry about driving all that distance after drinking all day, or trying to arrange for a hotel in New Ulm. And, there will be movies shown on the bus, along with opportunities to win prizes. Plus, you get to enjoy the Bock beer with the opportunity to have your beer carmelized, tour the brewery, and “hunt” for the bock on the brewery’s grounds. The event is on Saturday, February 25, 2006. The bus will leave The Happy Gnome promptly at 9:30am. You may leave vehicles in the parking lot during the day. An estimated return time is 6:30pm. Tickets MUST be purchased in advance, no later than FEBRUARY 10. (That’s this upcoming Friday!!!) This can be done at either The Happy Gnome (498 Selby Street in St. Paul) or The Muddy Pig, or by contacting Dawn Michel of the Saint Paul Jaycees at dmmichel626@hotmail.com or 763-458-3694. We’d love to see a number of the home brewers join us! Angel Scott, on behalf of the Saint Paul Jaycees
