If you missed out on the Beer Can Opener last Friday (because you were embroiled in the LRPC - any other excuse will not be accepted, unless accompanied by a note from your Dr.), you have a second chance to attend a special event. Join Mayor Bill White as he honors and officially opens the Beer Can House to the public, along with the Orange Show Center for Visionary Art. This Thursday, March 6th at 10 a.m. brings the official ceremony to open the Beer Can House to the public for the first time. Previously, we could only drive by and peep at this legendary home. After all, who can resist sneaking a peek at a home that has been adorned with over 50,000 beer cans, along with marbles, tiles, concrete, pull tabs and bottle tops. Now, there's no more sneaking around, you can drop by any Saturday or Sunday, beginning March 8th, from noon until 5 p.m. and have an up close "look-see". Or, you can make a special appointment, either way, there will be guides on hand to answer your questions and even give you a tour. If you're nice, you may even get a cold beer, after all, this house is an homage to all beers, particularly those that were "on special" between 1968 and 1988, when upholsterer, artist and beer lover, John Milkovisch passed away.
