Support ice arena, brewery museum
POLSON — Have you felt fall in the air? We sure have, and this means hockey and curling seasons are starting up. We were inspired to celebrate the changing of the seasons with our own take on OctoberFest. Join us for the first annual OctoberFest benefiting the MVIAA and Montana Brewery Museum on Tuesday, Oct. 30. This will be a fun-filled gathering of friends and supporters of the Mission Valley Ice Arena Association, with proceeds to be split between our organization and the Montana Brewery Museum, right here in Polson.
OctoberFest guests receive a tour of the Montana Brewery Museum, led by curator and owner Steve Lozar, a beer notes journal, a commemorative pint glass, a commemorative T-shirt, pub fare, and samples of local brews to rank and rate. This event takes place on Tuesday, Oct. 30, from 5:30-8:30 p.m. at the Montana Brewery Museum, upstairs at: Lozar’s Total Screen Design, 40735 Highway 35. Tickets are $50 each and reservations are required as the brewery museum has a limited capacity. To make your reservations, call: MVIAA Chairperson, Hilary Lozar at 406-207-2998 by Oct. 25.
