BY JACOB TROXELL News Editor Hundreds flooded the streets downtown as the 32nd annual Salisbury Festival brought spring into Salisbury with a variety of events over the weekend in its new location, including the international beer festival. “I am real pleased with the turnout, there were a lot of people and the weather helped,” said Jeff Friuits, owner of the Irish Penny Pub and Grill, who sponsored the Beer Festival. “Overall, the attendance went down, but compared to last year, from the people I have talked to satisfaction went up.” The Beer Festival included 23 beers from over 20 different countries and was the main event leading into Saturday evening. A number of different performances and musical acts highlighted the day; however, Bryan Russo and the Tragic Figures took over as the primetime performance during the Beer Festival. |
