The Hazleton Rotary Club invites the community to join us for a unique experience, the 5th annual Hazleton Wine and Craft Beer Festival, which will take place on Saturday, August 27, 2016.
President Pat Ward explains “We have a new location for this event, “Hazle Township Babe Ruth Field, Hazle Township Boulevard to allow for more participation. There will also be longer hours, 11:00AM-6:00PM to allow more people to break from their schedules and attend. Proceeds will benefit the Hazleton Rotary Club Community Service Projects.”
“The Hazleton Rotary Club gives special thanks to the Greater Hazleton/Hazle Township Babe Ruth Association for allowing us to use their location for this Rotary fundraiser”, Ward adds.
There will be a variety of different wines and craft beers available for tasting at the festival. Also, lots of food and craft vendors, plus the ever-popular Tricky Trays.
There will be no charge for the beer or wine tasting-it is part of the entry fee. The first 500 entrants will receive a free beer koozie.
Anyone interested in providing a tricky tray or becoming an event sponsor, wine, beer, food, or craft vendor should contact Jane at 570-233-4205 a.s.a.p.
Entertainment will be provided by Ostrich Hat, 11:00AM-2:00PM. Kartune is on deck 2:00PM-6:00PM.
Tickets are $20.00 in advance, $25.00 at the gate that day and designated drivers (non drinking) are $5.00. You must be 21 years of age to attend.
Tickets can be purchased from wwwhazletonrotary.ticketleap.com or any Hazleton Rotary Club Member.
