- Costume Contest. This year, we are turning our brew fest into BrOOfest and adding a Halloween costume contest. The contest will begin at 4pm and winners will be based on audience applause. Prize for first place. Whether you participate or not in the contest, everyone is encouraged to wear a costume.*
- Pumpkin Carver. Come watch a professional pumpkin carver make a masterpiece out of a 150lb pumpkin. You won't want to miss this.
