Wine and beer enthusiasts poured into Kutztown for the 5th annual FriendFest Benefit Beer and Wine Festival recently.

“Knowing that the money is going towards people in need is definitely a good thing and seeing that the money is used for good, it’s not difficult to spend money for a ticket and come here to drink some good beer, try some wine and food and meet new people,” said Steve Marcucio, Connecticut.

He and his wife, Barbara, were treated to an afternoon of wining and dining by their son, Steve, and his wife, Dana, Fleetwood. Barbara said she enjoyed having the chance to taste a variety of foods and drinks that she might not have otherwise.
