Josh Pfaff of Little Falls, the 2010 Grand Growler, attended the Growler’s Gathering in Leader July 30, along with his wife, Mandi Pfaff. Josh grew up in the Leader area, he said, and his parents still live there. He competed at last weekend’s Growler’s Gathering competition, but lost out to Dan Pawlak, who was crowned the 2016 Grand Growler. Cody Hanson of Leader, at right, was one of several participants at the Growler’s Day Parade in Leader July 30.
