Every once in a while, with even the best of planning, things collide...like they did with THIS COMING FRIDAY  -  JULY 11th.  We have three awesome events going on at the same time:
  1. SummerFest - the event formerly known as the Last Gasp Beer Bash rides again!  Same great event - new name - at the brewery from 6-10pm.
  2. Brew & ChewChoo - A beer dinner style pairing/tasting event with 7 local breweries and one distillery - while riding on the Cape Cod Central Railroad - across the canal and down into Monument Beach - a particularly scenic trip!
  3. CASK EVENT at Winslow's Tavern - In search of Real Ale? Enjoy a pint of Cape Cod IPA dry hopped with Cascade  - one of our favorites!  
Of course we think you should participate in at least one of them!  
Can't decide which?  Read on for details!

SummerFest will be held at the Cape Cod Beer brewery on Phinney's Lane in Hyannis.  The X-Grill will be here grilling up a storm - Jeff Lowe band will once again be cranking out great tunes - there will be salads and chowder and more! July 11th 6 to 10 PM

 

Tickets are $25 per person, children (12 and under) are free and welcome! The admission fee of $25 gets you 3 tickets that you can use for food, and a wide range of beverages.  100% of the money collected goes to the charities involved.  This is our BIG CHARITY EVENT OF THE YEAR!

 

Additional tickets can be purchased for $5 each and there will also be salads, desserts and soft drinks available.  New this year, our "silent" auction will take advantage of CCCF's "Bust the Box" concept. You won't be putting your name on a sheet, but throwing as many opportunity drawing tickets into the container that represents the item you want to win. The more donations you make, the better chance you have of winning.  100% of all the auction proceeds will be added to the Last Gasp account of the person, team or beneficiary that provided the item.

 

Some of the awesome Auction items!

real ale, a term coined by the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA)  and locally promoted by NERAX
