The evening will be a festive gathering with plenty of unique New Belgium beers and partner wines to sample, tasty local food, a brewery tour, a silent auction and live entertainment.
Live Music
Live music for the evening is generously provided by Hoo:Lumes (please bring cash as we encourage tips!)!
Hoo:Lumes is an ongoing songwriting partnership between two college friends – Sophia Darby (vocals, guitar, synth) and Drew Sencabaugh (drums, guitar, synth). The folk-tinged, indie rock duo generally performs two sets of original music — one acoustic, one electric — that aims to provide listeners with an evocative, magnetic, and dynamic experience. They plan to release an album by summer. Check them out on Soundcloud, Youtube, Instagram, Facebook, and their website.
Live Artist
This year our live artist will be Tank-A Gabriliants who will be doing a wonderful and unique jewelry demo for party-goers. Check out her other work on her website!
Thank you to our lead sponsor New Belgium Brewing for their generous support, and to Celine & Company Catering “On Broadway” for generously providing tables and linens for the event.
