Hi CHAOS-ers. In addition to being a member and active in CHAOS, I'm also a member of another homebrew club, Brewers of South Suburbia, from my time living in the southwest burbs. That club hosts an annual picnic, kind of like our quarterly parties, with food and lots of handmade beers but a more family friendly event, with an inflatable jumper, pinata, goats and chickens for the kids. Its out in the country, on a farm.
Its a private event, not open to the public, so you either have to be a member or be the guest of a member to attend. If anyone would like me to RSVP for you as my guest, I'd ba happy to do so. Just send me a PM.
Here’s everything else you need to know about the picnic:
