Happy Holidays, 802!
By Mark Ewald, aka Shep
THIS YEAR IS ALMOST OVER! TG!
Shep wanted to personally thank all of you that actually participated with the Ullr dance last week! I think it worked! Great to see the Greens white for the holidays. Looks more like the VT that we all know and love!
Wheww…what a crazy run 2020 has been!! This year we all have been through so many changes and challenges, from adopting new behaviors like wearing masks and social distancing, sanitizing our hands, abiding by new restrictions, implementing new routines, working from home and home schooling, zoom calls, on and on it goes. We all have adapted amazingly and at the same time experienced anxiety beyond our belief.
Shep thinks it's important to remember that some things are more constant, stable and familiar, like the holidays, and they bring us a sense of comfort! They are the same ol’ holidays just a little different this year! We can still celebrate this year just not as we usually do. We can still enjoy our holiday traditions including our favorite holiday foods and, for me, the holiday drinks. I know Shep will be be enjoying a few Rye Boulevardiers, a spicy Scaldis Noel or 2, a big malty Samichlaus, and some fresh hoppy Sierra Nevada Celebration! ( Yea I know it’s not our brand but none of us would be talking about craft beer today without Ken Grossman and the beer is delicious.) Shep loves the holidays especially when there is snow!
