The Exchange Club of Greater Durham hosted its sixth annual Durham Blues and Brews Festival at Durham Central Park on May 21. More than 800 attendees enjoyed unlimited 12-ounce pours of North Carolina craft beers, ciders and wines while jamming to the tunes of Bill Toms, The Harvey Dalton Arnold Band and Eddie 9V. Among the handful of wineries and cideries and 19 breweries were local favorites Bull City Burger and Brewery, Ponysaurus Brewing Co. and Tobacco Wood Brewing Co. Festivalgoers also dined on food truck fare from Charlie C’s Hot Dogs on Wheels, Crispy Gyoza, Bulkogi Korean BBQ and Ama’ Gees. The event raised approximately $31,000 to benefit the Exchange Family Center and other local nonprofits to be announced at the Exchange Club’s fall luncheon. 5
