We’ve Got the Brews P HOTO G RA P H Y B Y A S HL EY A PPL EW HIT E
The Exchange Club of Greater Durham hosted its fourth annual Durham Blues & Brews Festival at Durham Central Park, a new Durham tradition that mixes blues music and North Carolina craft beers. Food, local breweries and sweet sounds created a rockin’ experience for the crowd to enjoy. Colorful Mardi Gras beads, animated photo props and vibrant costumes added to the unique experience. The proceeds from the festival benefit local charities and programs, including the Exchange Family Center, a nonprofit committed to preventing child abuse. Kate Shirah, an Exchange Family board member, says it was “the best turnout we’ve seen in all four years.” More than $120,000 has been raised over the past four years. 14
