Once again, our fellow Texans have demonstrated why this is the greatest country in America. Less than 48 hours after soliciting bottling volunteers, we had more than 100 brave souls step across that line in the sand.

If you’ve emailed Laurel already to volunteer, please trust that she is sifting through your emails — first come, first served — as fast as she can. We needed about 30 folks to help out and received many more offers than we can possibly fill. Please trust that Laurel will get back to you soon and let you know if we were able to work you in or not.

Anyone who does not get a bottling slot this time will be moved to the front of the list for the next bottling effort in February.

Thanks so much for your willingness to help out. We couldn’t do this without you.
