| Best of Show winner Russ Smith hoists the Siciliano Cup |
By Steve Siciliano
Cool temperatures and intermittent rain did nothing to damper the enthusiasm of the 150+ folks who attended the 9th Annual Siciliano's Homebrew Party last Saturday at Johnson Park. The attendance for this year's party was the highest to date and I was again amazed at the quality of beer, ciders and meads that are being crafted by our good friends and customers. As usual Jimmie Stagger and his band rocked, the dinner prepared by Three Men and a Grill was great, and all the happy party goers went home with armloads of wonderful gifts.
After dinner the medals for the Siciliano's Homebrew Competition were passed out and it was announced that Russ Smith, a member of the MOB (Muskegon Ottawa Brewers), was the winner of this year's Best of Show. Russ's winning entry, a Northern German Alt beer, not only entitled him to have his name etched on the prestigious Siciliano's Cup, it also granted him an all-expense-paid trip to a future Sierra Nevada Beer Camp in Chico, California. Congratulations Russ!
Thanks to all who attended this year's festivities. We are already working on next year's party and will announce the date as soon as it's finalized.
One final note. Score sheets and medals can now be picked up at the store. Those who would like to know their scores sooner may call or shoot us an email.
