[COHO] Fw: 25th Annual Oregon Homebrew and Microbrew Festival--Call for Entrants

[Mike T]

Brett, Jim, and I went to this last year and had a great time. The raffle 
prizes are sweet (like experimental hops from Oregon State that you can't 
buy anywhere). BOS wins a conical. Get your entries together. You have 3 
weeks to get them in.
Cheers!
