2016 exceeded my expectations of what SCHF was going to be.
My favorite parts were, spending time with the people I knew and meeting new ones.

I had a WICKED good time at SCHF 2016…
The food was great, beer was awesome, and the crowd and camping were both very easy going.
I left knowing that I’d be coming back for 2017!
