the Great 2010 Yard Dogs Brewer's Game Expedition!: We are excited about a Milwaukee event we are organizing - "The Great 2010 Yard Dogs Brewer's Game Expedition"! Yes indeed, we have actually gotten off our collective butts and put the gears in motion and have reserved a sky box for Monday, July 26th at Miller Park - the Milwaukee Brewers Stadium - for the 7:00PM Brewers/Reds game! But it ain't JUST a baseball game! No siree buddy! It's an EXPEDITION! We're working with our good friends at MoJoe's Pizza, Barnacle Bud's http://www.barnacle-buds.com/, and McKiernan's Tavern http://www.mckiernans.com/ for a fun filled afternoon and evening. Here's the plan (at least as much of a plan as the Yard Dogs somewhat limited skills enable us to make): We'll meet at McKiernan's for a pre-game party 4:00-5:30 pm. Proprietor, Gene McKiernan, has agreed to donate a free draft beer to all our group members going to the game. The ticket price includes a private, sky box suite at Miller Park along with free ballpark buffet (dogs, brats, finger food, etc.) and a couple of free Miller beers too! The suite has inside, glassed in seating or you can venture out onto the open deck to watch the game. Weather is never an issue because the whole stadium has a closable roof - so rain or shine, the game goes on! The Yard Dogs are going to donate a free, limited edition, commemorative baseball cap to all ticket purchasers identifying YOU as a member of "The Great 2010 Yard Dogs Brewer's Game Expedition"! (You won't ever be able to get one of these any other way!) The price is $150 per head which includes the pre-game beer and party at McKiernan's, admission to PHENOMINAL seats in the Sky Box for the game, the buffet in the sky box, the 2 free beers at Miller Park, the commemorative hat, and the chance to hang with some fun loving folks before, during, and perhaps even after the game! It'll be a hoot! Ticket availability is limited so be sure to order your tickets NOW! (He who hesitates is last!) Make checks payable to Heather Lawrence and send in the amount of $150 per person, along with a self-addressed, stamped envelope to: Kip Lawrence 2045 Bridgeview St. Matlacha, FL 33993 Questions?
