Week 5 (Camp Whiskey)

Closing down camp requires a good campfire whiskey.  By why stop with just one, when you can have an event showcasing 6 whiskies made for nights under the stars, canned beans, and flame-kissed meats?

Camp Hector and South Fayette Road Show

Round 1 Kickoff at approximately 6 PM

This week's events (yes plural) featured two different locations and two different brackets with (you guessed it) two different outcomes, but all featuring the same six whiskeys.  A total of 10 judges participated in the events which also featured our first road kit preparation and a completely blind bracket.
