Jacktoberfest 07 - This Friday

Jack is back! Our favorite little trooper of a festival returns this Friday, Oct 19th on Congress Street. And it's still free admission! The good times start at noon, and will go until 11ish.

• Come by for lunch - Eat a lovingly prepared brat or burger and support the festival. (Or visit one of the great restaurants on Congress street who are gracious enough to let us set up shop practically in their lap.)

• Hang out at Happy Hour and enjoy one of our fine beers provided by Capital City Beverages.

• Rock out with five great bands and get your groove on with Mr. Nick, DJ extraordinaire.

• Check out our artists - and bring some extra cash to buy a t-shirt or silk-screened poster of this year's Jacktoberfest artwork by Wade Acuff, or maybe even a fantastic one-of-a-kind work from one of our artists!

• Stay late and close the festival down with us! That Jack flavor is worth savoring all night long.

We're working to make certain that this year is even better than last, and our early estimates have concluded that it will be around 38.667% Jackier than last year. Of course, this estimate could well be surpassed if you all help spread the word. Please forward this email and spam the hell out of all the people you know. Blame it on us if you need to. We can take it. Well, Bryan can anyway. The rest of us might cry a little. In any event, we appreciate the help.

Thanks!
