We capped off last weekend with an enjoyable event at Harry’s Alehouse. The “Bourbon Barrel Beer Dinner” promised interesting beers and good food. As we were seated our server let us know that the first course would start in about 20 minutes, and he th…

I awoke on Sunday morning to the sound of rain, and it wasn’t light rain. Grabbing my phone I quickly checked for any word of the scheduled IDPA match at Cavalier. I saw a post on the club’s Facebook page that simply, “Make sure you are ready for some …

Returning from a fun four-day “escape,” Colleen and I were passing through Harrisonburg, VA on Monday around lunch time. Remembering there are a number of breweries in town, none of which we’ve ever visited, I did a quick internet search.
