Great time to start or finish up your holiday shopping with something unique for someone special.  

A very fun event coming up if you're the area, check it out!  I will also be one of the merchants participating. 

Craft beer enthusiasts from across the Pacific Northwest will gather in Seabrook on Saturday, October 6, to celebrate the region's best breweries at the 6th Annual Big Foot Brew Fest.

From 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., attendees will have the chance to sample over 40 varieties of seasonal craft beers from 15 different breweries.

The Big Foot Brew Fest is quickly becoming known as the largest beer festival on the coast for its easy day drinking and beach town atmosphere.

Attendees can sip on session style ales and lagers while enjoying live music from some of the coast's most popular acts.

In addition to craft beer and live music, the festival will feature local food vendors. The cost for the Big Foot Brew Fest is $25, which gets you admission, six beer tasting tickets, and the official Big Foot Brew Fest pint glass.
