SCHAEFER

This restaurant and exhibit area is roofed with air-filled plastic disks that look liked huge pillows. The history of brewing and the 200-year role of the Schaefer family is depicted inside, and a gallery of outstanding sports photographs is on display. The restaurant, offering American-style luncheons and dinners, is in a large wing that adjoins the exhibit building. In the center of the restaurant stands an illuminated fountain 12 feet tall; nearby are ornamental trees that at night appear to be filled with twinkling fireflies. Outside are a beer garden for 300 people and a curved bar, 100 feet long, which the exhibitors claim to be the largest in the world.

This beautiful view from the Better Living Center features the Schaefer Center in the foreground. (CD26 Set 143 #31)
