*(If you don’t want to compete, your name will be added to the list for karaoke from 7:50 – 8:30 and we’ll try to get through as many singers as we can until the brewery closes)
For a chance to win any of our raffle prizes, drop a ticket (or several!) into that prize’s jar. The raffle closes promptly at 7:45 -- and drawings begin shortly after. Winning numbers will be announced out loud on the microphone. If a number is called and there is no response, a new ticket will be drawn.
