Kevin,
What I do for seasonal Beverages is hammer half of a 2-3 ft long 
piece of scrap rebar into the ground, then put a 1.5 inch PVC pipe 
over the rebar. At the end of the season, I pull the rebar out of the 
ground and save it for next year. It's a lot easier to carry around the 
PVC and rebar, than having to carry buckets full of concrete!
