| Brooklyn, New York | Ithaca 1, New York |
| 21st Amendment, California | Bluegrass 1, Kentucky |
| Sam Smith, English | Ommegang 2, New York |
| Rochefort and Orval (Belgium) |
Entertainment
Live music by The Smokin’ Fez Monkeys, a modern jug band that puts the fun back into music again. They play a wacky mixture of songs and tunes from several decades ago, mixed in with a number of snappy original ones written by a few of the band members. There are more than a few surprises along the way. It’s a sort of a ragtime-cartoon-Vaudeville-circus-hobo-gypsy-jazz thing.
Food (cash concessions)
One inclusive food ticket will allow selection from entrees donated by area restaurants/caterers. Additional food selections will be available via cash concessions.
Food vendors include, but are not limited to:
- - Casa Italian American Restaurant
- - C.K.’s Steakhouse at Quail Hollow Resort
We will also have pre-packaged dry snacks (nuts, pretzels) in various locations.
Pops and water will be available, especially for designated drivers.
Chinese Auction
Beer-related merchandise, such as neon signs, wearables, baskets, trinkets and general fun stuff could be yours to take home! Use the tickets included with your reservation to try your luck at winning; additional tickets will be available for purchase. Winners will be drawn and announced at 6:25pm. Winners need not be present to win but it is so much more fun when they are and can take their goodies home.
