On Friday, October 23, over 300 “Hoptoberfest” partygoers filled St. John’s Parish Hall, raising over $30,000 for the Library renovation and expansion project set to break ground in early 2016. Hopkinton Public Library Foundation’s Third Annual Hoptoberfest, a fun night out to celebrate the fall and enjoy all things local, helped Library fundraising top $700,000. In addition, a number of guests joined the 1000 Homes for Hopkinton Library, adding their names to the 1000 Homes plaque to be hung in the new Library.
Partygoers enjoyed fantastic food and desserts from 5 Star Sweets, 110 Grill, Chef McFall, Commonwealth BBQ, Dino’s Pizza, Heritage of Sherborn, KO Sushi & Grill, Mexico City Taqueria, Not Your Average Joe’s, Oliva’s, and Wicked Twisted Pretzels. Guests tasted spirits from Bully Boy Distillers and Gubba Rum. Clown Shoes Beer brought offerings of seasonal beer. Congratulations to Winner local Christopher Benning, winner of the Home Brew Contest judged by Kenneth Onofrey from Crafted.
