Thank you to all those who entered our contests. Especially those who have entered more than one contest, year after year. The quality of entries just keeps going up and up. The new cow art contest brought some really cute entries. Amazing bread pudding. Mind-blowing sweaters. Beautiful photography.
Brewing Contest
First place winner Justin Casey of KC MO with "Recession Proof Ale"Note: Justin couldn't enjoy his Snug Membership this year because he was on his honeymoon! Not to mention he was recovering from brewing all the wine and beer for his wedding! Don't worry Justin, we'll keep your Snug Membership safe until next year, when you can whoop it up with the 2011 Brewing Contest winner!
Second place winner Michael Downs of KC MO with "O'Downs Wee Heavy"
Third place winner Michael Welsh of Mission KS with "Irish Red"

She took seriously the requirement of having a shamrock on the cow's side.
