The Annual Beer Fest

For at least the last five years Ryan and I have attended the annual Beer Fest in Wichita. My employer has a silent auction and cash and carry at the Beer Fest which has proven to be a great fundraiser for the agency. Drunk people love to spend money!! Ryan and I have volunteered the last several years at the cash & carry booth. We get a t-shirt and free admission to the Beer Fest. We work the first shift which ends at 2:30pm and then spend the rest of the time sampling beers. Good times! This year our friends, Brandon and Lisa, also volunteered and our friends, Chuck and Rachel, came for sampling. Beer Fest never disappoints and we always have a great time.
After the Beer Fest we rode the trolley to Old Town to hang out at Heroes for a while and then made a stop at Whiskey Creek for drinks. We stopped at another bar on our walk back to the car and quickly discovered that it was a gay bar. Although the fellows wanted to get a drink we convinced them otherwise.

Here are just a few of the pics from the evening.


It was nice to see Daniel Boone at the Fest.


Me and the girls and some random drunk guy.


Ryan tackled Chuck and was going to throw him in the fountain.


Chuck may have been a dancer in his past life.


This fellow beer fester purchased a blow up Marlin and Rachel convinced him that I saved Marlins as a hobby.


No title needed for this picture.

Iron Cross performed on the trolley


AHHHHHH


I think we threw more popcorn than we ate here.


A piggy back ride from Brandon...I think they just came out of the gay bar.


And even gymnastics on the trolley

It was a blast as always and I was one of the few that held my food down the entire night!!
