Brookhaven Bolt- May 19th!

Registration for the race is currently $25 (until May 13)- course map is below. This would be a great training race for those planning on running the Peachtree in July.

All proceeds are donated directly to Ashford Park Elementary School. The group is in need of up to 60 volunteers on race day to help manage the pre-race setup, the actual race, water stations, t-shirt pickup, and clean up.

Brookhaven Beer Fest!

You sandbaggin' son of a bitch... It's Beerfest Season!!!!! Every year during the Spring and Summer, Atlanta and it's neighborhoods host countless beer festivals and beer-related events. Usually providing a nice representaion of local and regional breweries, beer fests offer the patron a quite nice array of eloquent brews to try. Also, it's a awesome party. Well finally, Brookhaven is joining in on the fun!! We just got an email today for the inagural Brookhaven Beer Fest. The festival will be held Saturday, June 11, 2011 from 3:00 - 8:00 p.m behind the Brookhaven Marta Station (on Apple Valley Road, like the Brookhaven Arts Festival). Admission includes tasting of 100's beers, two rock band shows, and a commemorative tasting glass. Let's hope this event fares better than last year's Taste of Brookhaven and those commemorative glasses...

Ticket prices are $35 in Advance and $45 at the Gate, but since you know us, we will let you in on the promo code for $5.00 off: use BAA

The Fest is also looking for volunteers to help out in the following areas:

• Check-in: assisting with tickets, wristbands and handing out commemorative glasses
• Beer Logistics: assisting with getting beer and ice to the beer stations
• Beer Pourers: one of the most important aspects of the event. You will be serving samples of over 100 beers to festival attendees. 

Volunteers will receive a t-shirt and free entrance and MUST be over 21. For more information on volunteering, please email Christy Murray.

Don't miss out on this event- Register Today! Our tickets are bought so we will see you there!
