jdobleman 0 #1 April 24, 2009 Buy a Megamillions Lottery ticket (yeah, I know the odds suck, I'm a math teacher) and hope to save the Lang Creek Brewery in Montana from closing. Those of you that know Lost Prarie, or of LP, know that the Lang Brewery has become a major part of the experience, either by jumping in, ground crewing or spectating the demo. Unfortunately, the economic downturn has hit the new owners too. (nice people, met them last year) and they are forced to close the brewery in a couple of weeks. We had a skydiver Wake in SF tonight but came up with the idea that if every skydiver bought 1 Mega millions ticket tomorrow (Grand Prize 150+ million) bailing out Lang would be a great way to celebrate your winnings, besides being a hero to many skydivers, world wide. So please pass this on to your skydiving friends ASAP blue skies and cold Lang madjohn PS No longer a share holder, but want to keep drinking LANG. Main goals in life: Be on the "Jumpers Over Eighty" (JOE) World Record and attend the Lost Prairie Boogie once after I'm gone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

diablopilot 2 #3 April 24, 2009 Why don't we save that dollar, add $999 more to it, and 100 of us could buy the brewery.---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWFlyer 2 #4 April 24, 2009 Glad I had a few more last night. All of you in the Northwest need to buy up what's around so just in case this lottery thing doesn't work out, we still have some left."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

Beachbum 0 #8 April 24, 2009 How many hundreds of cases would need to be ordered to keep them afloat a bit longer? I know most skydivers detest beer, but I bet a concerted campaign effort would generate at least a few orders. Sure hate to seem them have to fold.As long as you are happy with yourself ... who cares what the rest of the world thinks? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
