The Lycoming County Historical Society held its ELEVENTH annual Bottles & Brews Fundraiser on Friday, August 9, 2024. A huge crowd of over 300+ attendees were able to taste a number of local craft beers, wines, distilled spirits, teas and coffees and sample the products of several regional and national brew masters. All proceeds from this annual event benefit the Historical Society and the Taber Museum and all indications show that it was one of the most successful Bottles and Brews events to date! We raised approximately $20, 745 to go toward the operating costs of the LCHS and Taber Museum!
During the evening, the Museum raffled off “Buckets of Cheer” and hosted a 50/50 drawing. Many guests walked off with buckets filled with wine, gift cards and other valuable gifts donated by local businesses.
No one went hungry, as the food tables were overflowing thanks to local eateries and many other donors.
Bottles and Brews continues to be one of the premier local events of the summer, and we thank all of those who attended, helped, donated their time, finances and materials to make Bottles and Brews a fantastic and fun event for the community! Mark your calendars today for Bottles and Brews XII – which will take place on Friday, August 8th, 2025.
