PUEBLO - The Colorado State Fair is coming up fast, and its "last call" for home brewers looking to participate in this year's competition.

The fair's General Entry office is seeking amateur and professional brewers to compete in the events at the fair, which runs from Aug. 24 - Sept. 3 at the Colorado State Fairgrounds in Pueblo.

The homebrew competition is sanctioned by the American Homebrewers Association, and features professional judges in 28 categories. Medals will be awarded for the top three places in each category as well as "Best of Show."

Winners will be honored at the Foamfest microbrew festival on Aug. 25, which features dozens of beers from the Centennial State's finest craft breweries.

Submissions must be made by Aug. 17, and can either be mailed to the Colorado State Fairgrounds, or dropped off at designated sites in Fort Collins or Denver. For more details, call 719-248-4468, or visit the website at www.coloradostatefair.com
