Chamber Brew and Chew fundraiser draws a crowd

Tickets for Brew and Chew, the Belgium Chamber of Commerce’s largest fundraiser of the year, were sold out before the doors opened, so it was no surprise that a crowd packed into the barn at Buechler Farms in Belgium on Saturday to enjoy food and beverages from area restaurants and distributors. Clockwise from above left: Chris Schmidt was busy handing out Bofferding, the beer of Luxembourg that, not surprisingly, is quite popular in Belgium. From left, Annie Noster, Becky Schueller and Vicki Czisny shared a smile. Restaurant employees had their hands full feeding the crowd. A woman hoping to win a round of golf for four dropped her ticket in a bag.                 Photos by Sam Arendt
