FREE BEER ar the Energy Fair!
In honor of my last year at the Energy Fair, I bought a keg of beer for exhibitors. It’s an Irishman’s way of saying thanks. The beer is the best, a microbrew made by Central Waters Brewing which is only available in Wisconsin. Before me, another exhibitor, Ameresco, had bought a keg for the exhibitors. He did it just for chuckles, so I contacted Richard Griswold, the generous donor at Ameresco’s booth, and gave the company a free display ad in BHM’s next issue.
Top photo: Maggie Mohs, left, and Sara Mohs, enjoy the free brew. They sold non-toxic cleaners out of their booth next to ours. Their company, Simply Neutral, is in Becker, Minnesota. They are not sisters, but sisters-in-law, having married brothers, Steve and Pat Mohs, who are at home minding the four children.
Bottom photo: A lot of people wore BHM T-shirts to the show. Here, from left, are Rich Rezny of Maple Park, Illinois, Mike and Sandy Norris of Frankfort, Indiana, and Ron Johnson of Richton Park, Illinois.
We’ll finish up the Energy Fair today, then visit BHM’s printer, Ripon Printers, a few hours drive from here in the small town of Ripon, Wisconsin. They have been printing Backwoods Home Magazine for at least a decade.
