LOCAL BREWERY LTS IS HOSTING A CHESS TOURNAMENT ON MONDAY, FEBRUARY 12 AT 6:00 PM
Board member Tim Schimke reminded me to post this announcement: LTS Brewery is hosting a chess tournament on Monday, February 12 at 6:00 pm.
Have you ever played chess in a brewery? If no, you are not alone! I recommend drinking NA beer or maybe sipping tea to stay aware of your surroundings, including the chess board in front of you! Find out more about the tournament at their site: https://www.ltsbrewing.com/.
