Big Pour Four news
The Big Pour committee is meeting and planning, planning, planning for this year's event. Naturally, we think it's going to be the best Big Pour ever. But hey... go figure! Here are some of the latest "Festival stats" to date:
- 35 Brewers
- 18 Food Partners
- 29 Sponsors
We're very excited! I think we may be tapped out on Brewers (pun intended) but plan to add more Food Partners. In the sponsorship department... all of the specialty sponsorships have been gobbled up but there's still plenty of opportunity to sign up for a Keg, Growler, Pint or Taster sponsorship. Sponsoring the Big Pour is a great way to advertise your company as well as show your support for reuse and sustainability. Click here or contact Nicola Coohill at Construction Junction if you're interested in becoming a Steel City Big Pour sponsor. Nicola can be reached at 412-243-5025 x32 or by email at ncoohill at constructionjunction dot org.

CJ Q&A
I am looking for an individual wooden desk drawer that I can attach to the underside of a panel door which serves as my desk. Do you have individual wooden drawers that might be suitable? -- Lowell
Lowell -- Unfortunately we tend not to keep just drawers. However, one never knows what you'll find (including a new desk) so it may be worth a trip over to peruse the store. -- Cozmo
