First Oktoberfest Pints for Polio Pub Crawl

Thank you to all who participated in a fun evening of pints, music, and fellowship in benefit of our club's polio eradication efforts.  We seem to have lost a few crawlers along the trail, but everyone had a great time.  Be sure to say thank you to the owners of Station 1, Raices, Cork & Craft, and Sir's for their support!  Prost!
