First-year brewfest proves a big hit
Hundreds attend
inaugural event in
Roy Raley Park

PENDLETON — The
fi rst-ever Wild West Brew-
fest
transformed
Roy
Raley Park into microbrew
central.
About
650
people
stopped by the park Satur-
day to listen to music and
sample everything from
lagers, pilsners and pale
ales to stouts, porters and
IPAs. If one wasn’t in the
mood for a Nutcrusher
Peanut
Butter
Porter,
there was Fuzztail Heff,
A Beer Named Sue or 24
other brews. Non-beer afi -
cionados could sip cider
and other libations. The
microbrews hailed from
breweries
around
the
Northwest.
The gathering ran from
noon to 9 p.m. Organizer
Liam Hughes, director of
Pendleton Parks and Rec-
reation, said he was excited
by the results of the inau-
gural event. Profi ts go
to support the Pendle-
ton Parks and Recreation
Youth Scholarship Fund.
“It went great — just
super smooth,” Hughes
said. “It ramped up as the
evening went on.”
He doesn’t yet know
how much money the event
pulled in for the schol-
arship, but fi gured they
reached the breakeven
point at around 350 people.

at Roy Raley Park in Pendleton. The Beerfest was part of a fundraising eff ort for an elemen-

for the after-school program, and organizers recently published a pamphlet that provides a
daily itinerary for each day’s programming.

East Oregonian
MILTON-FREEWATER
— Milton-Freewater Police
Chief Doug Boedigheimer
identifi ed the victim of the
fatal stabbing that occurred
Friday as Christian Rodri-
guez Calvillo, 22, of
Milton-Freewater.
Boedigheimer
also
reported police have not
made any arrests in the case.
Milton-Freewater police
and paramedics responded
to 911 calls early Friday
about a male stabbing vicim
on the 600 block of Ward
Street. Paramedics trans-
ported Calvillo to Provi-
dence St. Mary Medical
Center, Walla Walla. He
later died en route to Kadlec
Regional Medical Center,
Richland, Washington.
According
to
Boedigheimer,
offi cers
obtained a warrant and
searched Calvillo’s resi-
dence at 604 Ward St. Mem-
bers of the Oregon State
Police crime lab processed
the scene and collected evi-
dence, which they logged
into the evidence room at
the Milton-Freewater Police
Department.
And the State Medical
Examiner in Clackamas
autopsied the body Mon-

day and ruled the cause of
death as homicide. Mil-
ton-Freewater
detectives
were present.
Boedigheimer stated the
investigation continues.
Oregon State Courts
records show Calvillo has
several aliases, including
Christian Alejandro Rodri-
guez and Cristian Alejandro
Rodriguez-Calvillo. He has
a 2015 conviction in Uma-
tilla County for hit-and-run
with injury. He also faced a
2017 charge of methamphet-
amine possession, but the
Umatilla County District
Attorney’s Offi ce dismissed
the case for lack of evidence.
