Our 3RD annual Beer Mile was last Saturday, if you missed it, you missed out! 100 people signed up to chug Sew Hop'd Beer and run a lap or 4. Good times were had by all! Lot's of laughs, smiles and of course good beer, food and music. The rain stayed away, which made it even better for the 100's of spectators that came to watch. The Huntley Historical Society could not have pulled this off without a team of awesome volunteers, THANK YOU Volunteers!
