The World’s Longest-Running* Hash Anthrax Scare Celebration**
Saturday, December 20, 2008 Meet at 1400hrs CST, on out at 1430hrs (2:00pm)
Join THE Chicago Hash House Harriers for our Winter 2008 Flagship Event – the 7th Anniversary of Chicago’s Great Anthrax Scare of 2002!!!
This year’s event is once again ALL NEW as we have rented out the HUGE backroom of one of our favorite hash bars, THE BEAUMONT right at Ground Zero of the Lincoln Park “beautiful people” corridor, Armitage & Halsted! This rather unassuming bar by day transforms into a huge dance club for the late night 21-27 year old crowd between midnight and their exceptional closing time of 5am! The hash will be there a tad earlier but for the true die-hards y’all can party there ALL NIGHT!! We had 114 peeps last year for 6th Anthrax and this year we have the space for waaaaay more!
Rego’s and pricing information will be available in October but to the extent we can continue to contain costs despite the cost of like EVERYTHING SKYROCKETING we expect 7th Anthrax to be priced as close as we can to last year and still be one of the BEST VALUES IN HASHING.

Be prepared to run some train tracks, e.g. urban shiggy.
