19th Annual Southern New England Regional Homebrew Competition October 19th, 2008, Edmond Town Hall, Newtown Connecticut

SNERHC 2008 was a great success thanks to the many volunteers who gave their time and energy to make it happen. A great, big THANK YOU to everyone who judged, stewarded, handled drop-offs, and/or donated prizes. Extra special thanks to Von Bair for organizing everything, to Mark Tambascio for setting up, cleaning up, and donating all the food, to Phil Simpson for preparing all of the printed materials and databases, and to Tracy Watson for running the "cellar" with efficiency and a smile despite the arctic breezes blowing through. Thanks also to our sponsors, My Place Restaurant and Maltose Express, without whom the event would not have been possible.
