Thanks to attendees Walt Laughlin, Mark Sutherland, Bo Webb, Edwin Martin and Tim Macauliffe and his dad Mark-and supporters Greg Scott, Amy Wrenn and Pete Dugan. Enjoy your keepsake samples of Friendship Ale! We're pretty sure this event will be back next year...

The Women's Mehndi Party left an indelible impression!

A huge thanks to lovely, gracious hostesses Angelika and Vanessa Lacer. The setting could not have been more ambient--melodic Indian music soothed the senses, rose petals and incense massaged the nostrils and tables laden with goodies temped the belly. And the Mehndi--oh, my! See for yourself...
