Eagle Chamber's Wassailfest!
On behalf of the Eagle Chamber of Commerce and the sponsors of Wassailfest, we'd like to extend our congratulations to Knapp Harvest, who has won 2023 WassailMeister by having been voted the best tasting wassail in 2022 and 2023 by local Wassailers!
Knapp Harvest expresses their gratitude for the community's participation: "We're thrilled to have won the community's vote for the best Wassail again this year. We use ingredients from our store and add in our secret ingredient for an extra special touch. Visit us for fresh, locally produced products, our very own Second Nature Gourmet chef-prepared meals, a selection of our Knapp's Nectar honey and honey products, unique gifts crafted by local artisans, and more!"

Eagle Wassailfest History:
In 2015, Eagle WASSAILFEST was added to the Eagle Chamber's activities.
What is Wassail (sounds like 'wassle')?
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.
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’s WassailMeister.
