Booze Fest Setting.

The Rhy'din Observatory and Botanical Gardens have generously offered their grounds for this event.

In keeping with the season, and overall vibe, the Festival will be set up outside, with booths lining the brick walkway.

Attractions and booths will be set up in a first come, first choice, first serve manner. Either side of the walkway is available for use, with the fountain marking the beginning of the promenade.

Beneath the trees is the building where the restrooms are available.

(Basic in the way of words, but Collie's player's images don't really require a lot of fluffing. Here's the basic setting , have fun with your booths! Fashion thread is separate.)

The booth for booze fest is large and in charge like its hostess! Remember to keep an eye out for the fedora!

Beers on Tap These beers were chosen for their unique characteristics, creativity and let's be honest....their amazing taste!

The Bruery Autumn Maple Abita Brewing Company Pecan Harvest Ale Samuel Adams Ruby Mild Uinta Brewing Company Oak Jacked Imperial Pumpkin Brasserie Dupont La Biere de Beloeil

Eiswein or Ice Wine These wines are dessert wines served cold. Each one picked for their crisp and refreshing flavors as well as their brilliant bouquets. Connoisseurs debate if these wines improve with age or are best young. Either way the cork is pulled so order a glass or two!

Mixed Drinks

Fall In A Glass -this is a closely guarded secret blend that simmers for no less than 5 hours over low heat. Unfiltered apple cider, pumpkin puree, sliced apples, orange, top shelf brandy and of course the perfect blend of spices. One sniff and you will be in Fall heaven.

Golden Apple -crisp and light from start to finish, this drink is sure to bring smiles. Unsweetened apple juice, orange blossom honey and dry champagne served in a flute glass. Need Chris say more"

Sazerac -hold onto the bar! This drink is an old goodie that will leave you puddled on your bar stool. Rye whiskey, herb saint, orange bitters and a twist of orange. It might not look like much in the glass, but it packs several rounds worth of punches.

Drunken Oatmeal Cookies Huge oatmeal chocolate chip cookies will be sold and all the profits will go to the local orphanages. Thanks to Miranda for all the cookies and the recipe! Chris just happen to provide the drunken part of the cookie. Surprise...surprise...

Ingredients 1 cup of softened butter 1 cup white sugar 1 cup packed brown sugar 2 eggs 1 teaspoon of vanilla 2 cups all purpose flour 1teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon sea salt 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 1/8teaspoon allspice 3 cups of the oats that have soaked for two days in whiskey and honey 1 cup of dark chocolate chips

In a bowl using a mixer on medium cream the butter and sugars together til it appears to be a smooth mix. It will still be gritty to the taste, but visually be smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla to the creamed mix until smooth again. In another bowl sift the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves and allspice together. Slow add this to the cream mix til the dough forms, then add the oats and chocolate chips. You cannot skip this next step no matter how much you want too!!!! Cover the bowl in foil or plastic wrap and leave in the fridge for 1 hour at the very least. If you skip this the cookies will flatten out and be more chew than cookie. Preheat the oven to 375F and grease cookie sheets or foil the sheets and then grease for easy clean up. A cookie scoop is the easiest way to get the dough on the sheet in even amounts, otherwise use to greased spoons. Flatten each cookie dough drop a bit so that it will have more of a cookie shape or they will try to keep the shape you drop them in or ball shaped. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes depending on how soft you want the cookie to be. Allow the cookies to firm up on a wire rack for cooling and enjoy! FYI the cookie dough by itself is good too.
