The Elmhurst Heritage Foundation (EHF) has announced the 8th Annual Elmhurst Craft Beer Fest will be held Saturday, Sept. 16, from 1 to 6 p.m., on the grounds of the Elmhurst History Museum.
This annual event raises funds for the Elmhurst History Museum, including its family- friendly educational programs and museum exhibits. Funds are also used for school field trips to the museum and the Churchville One-Room Schoolhouse.
Last year’s fest had more than 100 different libation choices and upwards of 1,000 attendees from 97 surrounding communities, Canada and Scotland.
Abraham Lincoln had thoughts on beer: “I am a firm believer in the people…The great point is to bring them the real facts and beer.” The Elmhurst Craft Beer Fest brings the beer!
Pints in Elmhurst is the event sponsor for the fourth time. Brewers are being contacted and dedicated sponsors are signing up to lend their support for the work of the Foundation on the museum’s behalf. Refreshing seltzers and ciders will join the signature craft beer offerings.
In addition, more and more corporate sponsorships are taking part.
Last year, top level Platinum Sponsors were Lakeside Bank, DiCianni Graphics, Suburban Bank and Compass Real Estate, Kelly Stetler and newcomer, The Katris Law Group. Music was headlined by Lake Effect and Petty Cash, who will return this year.
The Elmhurst Heritage Foundation is committing resources and time so the event will be one in which the community can come together, show its unity, and raise a glass to celebrate the future, while supporting the past.
Help make it a fest Abraham Lincoln would be proud of!
