Passes to the Capital Region Craft Brewers Festival at Joe Bruno Stadium
Beer + food + summer = awesome.
And this Saturday they converge at the Capital Region Craft Brewers Festival. The Tri-City ValleyCats are hosting the festival again this year at The Joe, and we have a pair of "grand slam passes" to give away. Each pass gets you admission, a souvenir sampling glass, 10 tasting tickets, a commemorative t-shirt, admission to a VIP area with a catered buffet, and a ticket to a future ValleyCats game.
To enter the drawing, please answer the following question in the comments:
Before summer rounds third and heads home, what's one thing you want to make sure you do?
We'll draw one winner at random. The deadline to enter is Thursday, July 26 at 11 pm.
Important: One entry per person. You must answer the question to be eligible. You must submit your comment by 11 pm on Thursday, July 26, 2012. You must include a working email address (that you check regularly) with your comment. The winner will be notified via email by 10 am on Friday, July 27 -- and must respond by 5 pm Friday, July 27.

I want to sit still and watch the birds at the feeders in our yard, enjoy the feel of garden soil and mulch between my toes and hear the owls calling in the night in woods beyond the house. I want to drink in Summer, smell fresh cut hay as it dries and celebrate the abundance of fresh veggies from our own land.
