WOW!!!!! WHAT A PARTY!!!!!
Yes, the Leavenworth Ale-Fest on April 18 was great and everyone had a fun time while tasting the 40 interesting brews offered. What a job the judges had to pick the winners!

Music was provided by Washington bands, and the Festhalle was livened up in the afternoon by the wild and wooly Sauer Kraut Band!! The headliner Chumstick Liberation Front was so good the graphic designer has forgiven them for having to put such a long name on the poster!

Foods were delicious with sausages, pizza, pulled pork sandwiches and the award winning cheese samplings by the local Cheesemonger. Smoked salmon, served by the local Trout Unlimited members was a special treat!

Yes, it was truly an “Ale-Of-A-Party” at the Leavenworth Festhalle, and we are looking forward to April 17, 2010 for the 4th annual fund raiser for the Leavenworth Nutcracker Museum.

Profits from the Ale-Fest will benefit the Leavenworth Nutcracker Museum, a local non-profit organization.

Leavenworth Nutcracker Museum Mission Statement:
"To foster and encourage the interest of the general public of the importance of nuts in the diets of humans throughout history and in the evolution of the nutcracker. No other tool or collectible has shown such a wide diversity of material and design as the implements used to crack the hard shell of a nut".
