SAT, OCT 25 – CLEAN UP THE BRANCH WITH THE BENDERDINKER. With exactly six months left til Dinker time, there’s some cleaning up to do along Betty’s Branch to get it ready for April! Bring your kayak or small motor boat, pack up a cooler, find your work gloves and maybe a handsaw or clippers. We’ll make it a day on the water! Think tailgating, but better. Starts at 9am. Big love to Kristina of the BenderDinker and to Larry of Broadway Tackle for making it all happen. The BenderDinker helps support our educational programs at ALG year-round. Contact benderdinker@gmail.com to sign up for the clean up!

SAT, NOV 8 – MEAD, CIDER AND CISER MAKING
Fermdamental’s Danielle Shelton will join us again, this time on a Saturday afternoon, November 8, to teach a mead, cider & ciser making workshop at the West End Market & Bakery in Augusta. The workshop will be demo style, given the multi-step nature of the processes. Participants will see many different stages of the mead, cider & ciser in its creation. Of course, sampling is all part of the fun. The educational & tasting component of the class costs $15. Start-up brewing equipment kits will also be available for an additional $50, upon request.

SEE YOU ALL AT THE MARKETS!
