FriendsOfMDRF.org - THE BLOG!

I the recent past, the Faire Ever passes are ready to purchase during the first or second week of January. I asked about this on MDRF's facebook page and got this response from Carolyn:

We are updating our ticketing system, so we don't have any information to pass along until that is in place.

So stand by folks, I'll let you know when we can rush them with orders for the new season!

Hey guys,

(I'm messaging everyone who can spread the word on this.)

Apparently, the alcohol board has been really watching MDRF,
and if they find people with liquor on site,
and it looks like anyone who works at MDRF
had anything to do with that -
MDRF could lose their liquor license.

Basically, there just can be no coolers seen @ Pubs, on site, etc
so that no patrons can say, "But THEY have one!..."

If you guys could all spread the word to all the regulars you know,
that hard stuff simply cannot be on site?
That would be great...
It sucked to lose fire,
it would suck more to lose beer, I personally feel.

As for no coolers -
apparently the little lunch sack ones are ok.
(but if you want to call and confirm - that may be smart)
And if you are worried about losing cool/temp -
I know you can buy dry ice at Harris Teeter?
Or I am willing to sing a song in front of a mylde drink stand in exchange for free ice if it's a money issue.

And thank all of you
for being the voice of reason to MDRF fans,
and letting them know even though it may feel like home to them,
they have to remember to not "make themselves at home"
at the expense of the beer/wine license.
