Hey there, time traveller!

The Brandon Sunset Rotary Club is hosting its 12th annual Beer Tasting Festival fundraiser in the Imperial Ballroom at the Victoria Inn from 7-10 p.m. tonight. Funds raised from ticket sales will be donated to the YWCA Westman women’s shelter, local arts scholarships and youth programs.
Club president David Lopez said the event is more than just a regular fundraiser, but a way for people to get out and socialize.
“It helps the local breweries as well as those that are from other provinces nearby when it comes to marketing for them to get local support, and it’s for a good cause overall,” Lopez said.
The fundraiser will feature local breweries like Section 6 Brewing Co., Black Wheat Brewing and Farmery Estate Brewery. There will also be cocktails and non-alcoholic options available. Light food options will also be provided.
In addition to beer and food, a raffle will take place during the festival. The top prize will be a stay-cation worth about $1,000, with three other prizes valued at up to $250. Local organizations have helped provide the prizes, including the Victoria Inn.
Lopez said that like many other non-profit organizations, they are in need of more members and volunteers to continue providing support to the community.
“That’s one of the issues a lot of non-profits or service groups are having nowadays, to find more members to volunteer their time. We want to definitely just inspire people to have that habit of continuing to give back into the community and to volunteer, and to have fun and go out and engage with their fellow community members,” he said.
