The Sweet Park Brewfest 2025 is in the books, and representatives from the Friends of the Pool and Park Foundation filed a positive follow-up report.
Although no official tally on profits has yet been finalized, Heather DePriest, President of the Foundation, estimates that the event generated approximately $14,000. “With our generous sponsors, and others who donated items for the silent auction, and because of people who purchased those items, not to mention the beer sales, we raised a good amount of money for the pool and park rehabilitation project,” DePriest stated. “It was a little windy, but overall it was a fantastic evening. I don’t have an official count, but we had a nice crowd and lots of fun.”
Another supporter, Jean Kokkeler donated kick scooters, skateboards, and even a radio controlled car this year for a kids’ giveaway.
The Brewfest also offered a few wines, hard ciders and seltzers, domestic and craft beers, as well as non-alcoholic beverages such as water and root beer. Some of the breweries represented were Kettle House, Mighty Mo, Triple Dog, Lewis and Clark, Phillipsburg, Red Lodge, Bayern, Draught Works, Flathead Lake, Jeremiah Johnson, Last Chance, and Lockhorn.
