This is our 2nd year hosting the beer and wine tent and we are really looking forward to seeing how it comes together this year. Thanks to everyone that already signed up for a shift. Information will be coming early in the week with additional details.

We still have slots open and could use some help getting them filled. Anyone over the age of 21 can pour beer. So this is a great way to introduce coworkers, friends and family to a Jaycees project. Contact Alyson Kechkaylo akechkaylo@hotmail.com for more information or to sign up for a shift. We have a few slots open on Sunday and several open on Saturday.
