We managed to avoid a rain-out this past Saturday at Eeyore’s 42nd Annual Birthday Party<\/a>. The rain in the morning kept the dust down and prevented it from getting too hot. We all wore sweatshirts or pullovers until noon. The kids’ costume contest lasted a little long this year. I understand that they were trying to include everyone and to award a prize to each participant, but allowing kids to keep trickling in almost an hour after the contest started was a little much. We didn’t manage to win a bike this year, maybe next year. The crowds picked up by late afternoon as evidenced by the longer and longer wait times at the port-a-potties by the time we left around 6.<\/p>\n

There was a new brewery at this year’s beer stand, Independence Brewing Co<\/a>. I hadn’t heard of them before, probably because they’re draft only and I don’t get out much anymore. Apparently, they were founded late last year by a longtime brewer from Copper Tank. I tried one cup of the Independence Pale Ale and was underwhelmed, although in their defense, I had already had a few and may have been a little distracted. I’ll give them another chance. I can’t say I was ever very impressed with the beers at Copper Tank either, so I’m not surprised that I wasn’t into it.<\/p>\n

I posted a few shots over on Flickr<\/a>. I may add a few more tonight if I don’t hit my limit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
