"We are excited to host this fundraising event, said Willie Hallihan. It is a wonderful way to get together in the open air and toast the autumn season for a good cause. Brew-Ski will help us organize the upcoming 96th annual JumpFest in February of 2022. Our all-volunteer staff has been hard at work putting together Brew-Ski with the help of our organizer, Stateline Wine and Spirits. This has become an area tradition that brings everybody back together in a setting of great natural beauty whose centerpiece is the ski jump itself."

Beer aficionados will have more than thirty breweries from near and far that will quench their thirst and introduce them to new types and styles of beer. Best of all, this event offers the opportunity to hang out with like-minded people and discuss beer culture while sampling a jaw-dropping array of some of the finest beers around all in one location.

ABOUT SALISBURY WINTER SPORTS ASSOCIATION
In the winter of 1926, John Satre a resident of Salisbury jumped off the roof of his shed wearing skis to show his friends and neighbors a sport he learned in his native homeland of Norway. Town residents were so amazed as they watched Satre soar through the air that they decided to build a proper ski run that summer, and form the Salisbury Winter Sports Association. The Association hosted the first ski jump competition in January, 1927. JumpFest has become a highly anticipated event in Connecticut and throughout much of the East Coast.
