This weekend at the sold-out Brooklyn SeltzerFest, Ken Rush took the stage to accept the Spirit of Eli Award, an award initiated in 2025 to honor Eli Miller. Eli's brother handed Ken the award, a siphon bottle glass-etched with a portrait of Eli. Barry Joseph, Executive Director of the Brooklyn Seltzer Museum, interview Ken, who then read The Seltzer Man to the audience.

When he was not on stage, Ken ran a booth singing autographs, prints, and creating fresh siphon art. Below, in fact, is a video of him teaching anyone how to draw a siphon.

We had a glitch on Sunday and could not spread the word as widely as we wished about this campaign. But already know about it! Please check it out, help spread the word, and keep the story of seltzer from going flat.
