Before we wrap up this year's festival, we have some winners to celebrate!

🥉 3rd Place: North Country Hard C***r
People's Choice Chili Winners:
🥇 1st Place: Exeter Brewing

🥉 3rd Place: Thirsty Moose Tap House
Congratulations to all six winning entries, especially Exeter Brewing for taking first place in both categories!
Thank you to every brewery, c***ry, chili competitor, food vendor, and participant who helped bring this year's festival to Swasey Parkway. To Matty & The Penders for providing the music, and to our volunteers who gave their time before, during, and after the event, we appreciate all the work that goes into making this happen.
We're also grateful to our event partners, Exeter Parks & Recreation, for working alongside the Chamber to bring Powder Keg to downtown Exeter.
A special thank you to M&T Bank for underwriting this year's festival and to Newburyport Bank for its generous support.
And finally, thank you to everyone who purchased a ticket, sampled the b**r and chili, voted for their favorites, and spent part of their Saturday with us.
We couldn't do this without the businesses, volunteers, sponsors, and community partners who help make Powder Keg happen each year.
Thank you for another year of Powder Keg!
