Home brewers come from all over the Midwest to compete in this annual
competition, which is organized by the local home brewing community.
Guests get to sample beer recipes with origins from all over the globe that
date back to the 1500s as the brewers compete for big prizes and bragging
rights.
The competition will include a “people’s choice” winner and a “judges’
choice” winner selected by a team of special guest craft brewers from Ballast
Point Brewing Co. in San Diego and Mark Twain Brewing Co. The winner of
the “judges’ choice” wins a trip for two to the brewery in San Diego. Addi-
tional prizes will be awarded for second and third.
Tickets
Tickets can be purchased at County Market stores in Hannibal, Quincy,

Ill., and Palmyra or hannibalbrews.com. Friday night general admission is
$5 and Saturday general admission is $10 advance or $15 at the gate. Chil-
dren ages 12 and under are free. This is an all-ages festival, and all enter-
tainment is family friendly. Children’s activities include a petting zoo, kids
VW painting experience, pictures with Herbie and more vendors.
Take the trolley
The Brew Skies trolley is the best way to get to and from the festival as
parking is extremely limited. Most cars will not be able to turn into the festi-
val area without a parking permit for the campground, so festival-goers are
highly encouraged to utilize this service from the Hannibal Trolley Co.
Trolleys begin running at 10 a.m. Saturday and run continuously all day.
The last shuttle leaves 30 minutes after the final show of the evening.
It can be boarded at Hannibal Trolley Co., which is located in downtown
Hannibal at 220 N. Main St. The trolley cost is $3 each way, $6 round trip. n

Proclamation, the end of the Civil War was announced in Galveston,
Texas. Union soldiers read aloud a general order freeing the quarter-
million slaves residing in the state. This day of mass emancipation has
become known as Juneteenth. Since then, Juneteenth has been a day
of bittersweet celebration for many African-Americans.
Families, children and people of all ages are invited to attend. Re-

regional leagues — the South Siders and the Union Blues. Although
the source is apocryphal, it had been noted that multiple players dis-
covered from the Union Blues later played minor and major league
ball, including Hall of Fame first baseman and Hannibal native Jake
Beckley. The two ballparks were in south Hannibal and just outside
the Mark Twain cave area.
Some early teams in the area would arrange a schedule that com-
bined league action with outside exhibitions called “barnstorming.”
One such team at the turn of the 1900s, the Eagles, would play all
comers, including the Cincinnati Reds in 1902 at League Field south

landscapes, it’s hard to imagine he began painting
five or six years ago. Imagine zooming in on New
York City with Google Maps, seeing an explosion of
skyscrapers slightly aslant beneath floating white
clouds. Or Lower Manhattan on a windy gull-tossed day, from Lady
Liberty’s perch. These are the types of scenes Crist invites viewers

Alliance Gallery member, and Crist go back a ways. Crist found him-

Resident chooses Hannibal Regional
J
ust after his 70th birthday, David Bailey was faced
with a choice that would have a big impact on his
well-being. Bailey had been experiencing some health
concerns and after encouragement from his family
made an appointment to see a primary care physician.
Bailey chose Dr. Hossein Behniaye at Hannibal Regional Medical
Group to guide him on his path to better health.
“In my coaching days I used to say, ‘Use what you have to get what
you want,’ ” Bailey said. Hannibal Regional had the quality care I
needed under one roof. I did have choices — and I could have chosen
to go somewhere else for my medical care — but everything I needed
was right here, close to home.”
At his appointment, Bailey visited with Behniaye about some

Don’t overlook the importance of proper footwear Not just during the summer, but all year around, women need to

Summer isn’t the time to dismiss wearing the proper footwear. “Ballet flats are an example of what could be a bad shoe to wear —

not be good for your feet” Cline said.
Summer foot health for children
“Summer is a good time of year to have your children’s feet checked.

Before they start a new season of sports, they should have previous
injuries checked. Their shoes may need to be adjusted, or a brace may
be needed to help support an area that has been previously injured.”
Cline said.
Another important thing to remember is not to put your children
in hand-me-down shoes. Financially it can make sense, but allowing
your children to wear previously used shoes may put them at risk for
an injury.
“With all the wear and tear the shoes have been through, they may
no longer be supportive or protect well and could lead to bigger prob-
lems than the cost of buying a new pair of shoes for the season,” Cline
said.
If you are experiencing problems with your feet, help is only a step
away. Cline sees patients in Hannibal and at outlying HRMG locations
and is ready to help guide you on your journey to better health. To
