WHAT TO READ, SEE AND APPRECIATE
‘HUNGRY HORSE’ TO SCREEN AT THE STONEFLY LOUNGE
An Emmy-nominated docu- mentary about Hungry Horse will be shown at the Stonefly Lounge in Coram on Oct. 3.
Pieter ten Hoopen’s “Hungry Horse,” put out through Medi- aStorm, looks at the struggles affecting residents in this can- yon town, from poverty and drug use to loneliness and loss. But it also shows the strength and peace many of the residents find living in such stunning scenery.
The film was nominated
for an Emmy award in the New Approaches: Arts, Lifestyle, Culture category.
Ten Hoopen, a Swedish photographer, spent about 10 years making the film, after the town caught his attention during a trip here. He will be at the Oct. 3 showing to discuss the film and answer questions.

encouraged to wear costumes as well. The race is chip timed, and there will be a variety of prizes awarded to par- ticipants. Not only will first, second and third receive accolades but ran- dom-numbered finishers, like teams in 34th or 182nd place, will win awards as well. Creativity in costumes and team
names will also be rewarded.
“It creates that more fun, festive
atmosphere,” Brisendine said. “We’re going to award some fun prizes to peo- ple throughout.”
So far, more than 200 teams have registered to run the inaugural race, and race organizers are projecting another 25 teams to join up before the starting gun goes off, equaling about 1,000 runners.
Race heats start running at 1 p.m., with heats running every 20 minutes. Racers must be at least 21 to participate.
There’s no cost to come watch the race, but it will cost $10 to get into the central festival space with the brewer- ies. That price also buys one beer, and there will be beer tickets for purchase for further brews.
Food trucks and live music will also
round out the celebrations, and Brisen- dine asserted that there would be trans- portation available on site for anyone who needs a sober driver.
“Be responsible: don’t drink and drive. We take this very seriously,” he said. “We want to make sure everyone knows we have the measures in place.”
Already, Averill and Brisendine are working on expanding the Craft Beer Relay idea into larger, warmer markets, such as Austin, Texas, San Diego, Cali- fornia, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Arizona, and about 16 others.
And though they may be strange allies, beer and exercise may prove to be more powerful together than on their own.
“We’re blending this craft beer craze with the fun run idea that’s kind of sweeping the nation right now,” Brisen- dine said. “Craft beer is one of the fast- est growing industries in the country right now and the fun runs are essen- tially a billion dollar business.”
Online registrations will be available through Sept. 30. On-site registration will be open until Oct. 2. For more infor- mation, visit www.craftbeerrelay.com.
