Zoo Brew June 4th Sign Up
Posted: Thu Apr 28, 2016 7:29 am
Mesker Park Zoo & Botanic Garden is pleased to announce the seventh annual “Zoo Brew,” a very exciting event taking place on June 4th, 2016 from 6-9 p.m. The Zoo Brew is a highly anticipated happening that will be fun for all who attend! The evening will consist of beer and wine samples, great food, live music, and fun entertainment, all taking place on Zoo grounds.
We will be participating in the Mesker Park Zoo & Botanic Garden’s Zoo Brew. As a participant, we will set up a tasting booth during the event to provide a 2 oz. sample of our finest homebrews to Zoo Brew attendees. The Zoo Brew goal is 1,500 guests in attendance. The event has sold out each year and they are expecting a sell out in 2016. Each guest will be given a sampling mug and enjoy tasting their way around the Zoo!
Proceeds raised will benefit the Evansville Zoological Society, the Zoo’s 501(c)3 fundraising organization. The Evansville Zoological Society funds conservation projects, staff education, and new exhibits at Mesker Park Zoo & Botanic Garden.
In order to serve at an OVHA sanctioned event, each server must have on their person a current servers license (volunteer is fine) and a copy of the certificate for completion of the Indiana Server Training Program. This will be checked before the event starts.
OVHA has supported this event every year, by serving samples of our homemade craft beers to the public.
We need your help again this year, we need volunteers that have beer they want to donate, volunteers for serving (you need to have your volunteer servers permit or full bartenders license), volunteers to set up, tear down, talking/educating public on homebrewing.
If your interested please post beer and/or what you can help with.
Remember only dues paid members that are working get in without a ticket. If your not working we ask you to buy a ticket, it's for a good cause and remember to get them early, they do sell out every year. Priority goes first to those who Donate beer. Then to those who can set up, stay for tear down, as well as serve.
We will need volunteers for set up, tear down and approx 3-4 servers each hour from 5-6, 6-7, 7-8, and 8-9 as well as beer contributions.
Lets try to outdo ourselves again like we did last year and make this an awesome event!
