EDITED! See bolded entries.

I believe there are a lot left from last year, and there are packages of blank ones that can be printed.

I've got 47 boxes right now. Don't have enough dividers, but sure we will gather enough by then. If everyone on the committee starts saving their 6-pack holders we should have enough.

I plan to truck the entries again this year. We may need another hauler. I don't think we'll be able to login at HHQ. There is limited space and getting more limited every week. We probably need to more the login to Fred's.

Have we asked Rich Harris if he will make the award?

Great idea.

Is your beer intimate, hand crafted, and artisanally made?

Here is the current rule on number of entries:
Entries are restricted to one per sub-category, with a maximum of three per overall category.
Since we added sub-categories there are now some categories that have 5 sub-categories. I don't see why we have a limit at the category level. If someone enters all the sub-categories in Light Lager or German Wheat and Rye, Belgian and French and Sour Ale, it is only five entries.

I don't see a reason to limit at the category level. Why make the prolific brewer entering the Limbo have to decide which sub-categories to enter if they have more than three candidates for a category.
