Another great event – thanks for coming out and supporting music, brews, and our community!

A great video recap by Weston Film : TC Winter Microbrew & Music Festival

Some kind words:

Just a quick note to let you know that your event was stupendous!  All the staff that had an opportunity to go said what a good time they had (myself included!) The Executive Team and I all thought it was a great event outside and I have to tell you as a Director of Events, we (GTRS) couldn’t have done what you pulled off.  I was in awe… As well, all the staff with whom you worked side by side (golf and grounds, banquets, etc) also mentioned how professional you and your staff were. I’m sure you’re getting rave reviews, but wanted to throw my 2 cents in the hat. Bravo!

Big topic of discussion here today …the event was FABULOUS! What I heard from folks was that the layout of the area was extremely fun and very impressive…. Big time production values….. Different types of music (and the dj playing outside) added to the spirit of fun…. Incredible event…jammed….fun, fun.fun… Congratulations, Sam…you kicked butt again and again showed TC what a professionally managed event can look like!

I just wanted to thank you for a wonderful event Friday – the TC Winter Microbrew & Music Festival was the best. I am still informing people who missed this party that they missed something to behold. Thanks again, can’t wait for next year!
