“THE FACT IS THAT THERE WERE ALL THESE CRAFT BREWERS, BUT YOU’D GO TO THE BAR AND HAVE THE SAME BEER AND YOU’D NEVER TASTE ANY OF THE OTHER ONES.”
- HILARY SHEPARD, BREWFEST FOUNDER
, THE MARQUEE WHAT TO READ, SEE AND APPRECIATE STRUM AND DRUM CONCERT
This year, proceeds from the brew- fest will bene t the ACES After School Program in Bigfork, the North Shore Nordic Club, the Bigfork Food Bank, and the Crown of the Continent Guitar Foundation.
“It’s good for everyone. Let’s try some beer and let’s do something good for the town and bring people to Bigfork,” Shepard said.
Another draw is the annual Spam- O-Rama, which presumably enters its 20th year this year but no one is actually 100 percent sure, Shepard said. During this distinguished event, participants take the canned meat and turn it into sculptures, using tools they brought from home.
The carving competition takes place at 2 p.m. at the Garden Bar, and is fam- ily friendly.
“It’s the annual Spam-O-Rama, so bring your carving tools, it’s pretty entertaining,” Shepard said.
Bigfork Brewfest also o ers a safe way to and from the event, with buses
running routes from White sh and Columbia Falls, with stops at the White Oak on U.S. Highway 93, the Silver Bul- let on Highway 206, and Many Lakes.
“We do want to make sure people use that,” Shepard said. “We’ve run it before, but we certainly try to promote it and put it out there.”
Tickets for the event are $25 for those 21 and older who are going to taste the beers on tap, and $5 for non-beer drink- ers. There will be food trucks inside the festival, and free soda and co ee for designated drivers. Aaron Fetveit and Tommy Edwards, otherwise known as Man & The Box, will provide live music.
The theme this year, “Party in Plaid,” will dictate the suggested fashion for the event, and the team entry that wins for Best Dressed will be rewarded with a free team entry into the next Craft Beer RelayRace.
