\nEagle Wassailfest History:
\n
\nIn 2015\, Eagle \;WASSAILFEST was added to the Eagle Chamber'\;s activities. \; \;

\n\n

What is Wassail (sounds like '\;wassle'\;)?

\n\n

In Old English\, the word meant '\;be you healthy'\;\; it came to be known as hot \;mulled \;cider\, traditionally drunk during \;wassailing\, a medieval ritual intended to ensure a good cider apple harvest the following year.

\n\n

Knapp Harvest \;was crowned 2022 \;WassailMeister as more participants voted in favor of their secret recipe. Knapp Harvest was awarded the coveted WassailFest trophy\, which is held for one year. The furry wassail squirrel\, \;handed over to Knapp Harvest from 2021 WassailMeister\, ROAM. Adrienne of ROAM\, named the wassail squirrel "\;Andy"\;\, in honor of beloved Andy Jessen of Bonfire Brewing. \;Bonfire Brewing was named 2020&rsquo\;s WassailMeister.
