The seventh annual Heritage Brew Festival took place in Soda Springs Park on Saturday, Sept. 24. Neale Minch, vice president of the board, said all 820 tickets were sold as of Friday afternoon.
More than 25 breweries gave out samples as three bands entertained the beer lovers, who could also buy food from vendors and their favorite beverages to take home.
Minch said Brew Fest ticket buyers are usually about 10 percent Manitou residents, 40 percent from the Colorado Springs area, 40 percent from the rest of Colorado (mainly the Denver metro area) and 10 percent from out of state.
The event raises funds for the Heritage Center, 517 Manitou Ave. Information: manitouspringsheritagecenter.org.
