Tap Talk: “Kent Before the Haymakers”

Local Kent resident and historian Tim Wunderle will present at Tap Talks on Tuesday, November 21 at 7 pm at North Water Brewing. His talk, “Kent Before the Haymakers” will tell the story of life in our area from 1700 to 1810, a time that can be difficult to understand from our perspective today. According to Wunderle, “Lots of people shy away from discussing this period. There were lots of bad things going on and tough decisions made. I hope to provide not clear cut answers that take the pain away, but maybe soften and round off the sharp edges of that history.”

Tap Talks was initiated by Don Schjeldahl, the creator of North Water Brewing, as a way to bring the community together for conversation about life in Kent, Kent’s history, and issues of the day that impact us all. It’s also a chance to enjoy an array of locally-brewed artisan ales and beers. Tap Talks are scheduled EVERY THIRD TUESDAY of the month at 7 pm at North Water Brewing, 101 Crain Avenue in Kent.

You can meet Tim Wunderle and learn how you can add your own content and stories to this unique community resource on Tuesday, November 21st at Tap Talks.
