The group she represented as a vendor, Barley's Angels, is an inernational womens' craft beer club with chapter in Mankato as well as cities in six other countries. The club has existed in Mankato for four years. Bennett, with the help of her fellow club member Amy Sinning assembled and sold "a couple hundred" necklaces. " When I get a chance, I'm going to go out a try some new beers," Bennet said. Photo by Casey Ek
