Thank you to all those who participated in the third annual Brewers Bazaar on May 16th, 2009. The event was another huge success attracting 675 attendees and raising over $12,000 helped support our community service projects.

Plans are already underway for the 4th Annual Brewers Bazaar.  Mark your calendars:
Saturday, May 15th, 2010 from Noon - 5pm in Downtown Stillwater.

Kraus-Anderson Construction Company, Viking Automatic Sprinkler, O’Keefe, Century Construction Company, Doody Mechanical, Cub Foods and Oak Park Wine & Spirits.  Their contributions and support of this event are truly appreciated.  Let’s be sure to support their businesses.

We’d also like to thank the following organizations that helped enhance the event in many ways: Stillwater Printing, Haskell’s, Heritage Embroidery, The Squires Band, Bass Lake Cheese Factory and the St. Paul Travelers Employee Club who sold 100 tickets to the event.

In addition, we need to thank Chuck Dougherty and the staff at the Water Street Inn for offering to host this event and giving us the opportunity to enjoy our beer while overlooking the beautiful St. Croix River.  Please visit them again.

Finally, we want to thank the brewers for contributing their time and beer.  Their enthusiasm and support has been essential to the success of the Brewers Bazaar.
