On Saturday, July 16th, the second annual stein hoisting contest was held at German Days in downtown Bismarck and a new champion was crowned.

With a time of 4:31, Pete, who was visiting Bismarck from Pennsylvania, was the 2016 stein hoisting champion, outlasting 14 other competitors to take the crown.
