About 20 folks from our community came together to share some food (potluck) and a beer tasting of- fered by Mike de Jonge from our neighborhood brewery, Marda Loop Brewing Co. Mike is a member of the community and led the tasting of five different beers that his brewery has produced. Attendees went home with a souvenir beer glass in addition to tasting some good brew. The food was great. We had great music and good conversation. Thank you to everyone that was involved in making this event a success! Are you interested in growing your own food, learning about gardening, and rubbing shoulders with your fellow community members?
