AprilFest, a celebration of local craft beer and excellent food, is this Friday!

The second annual AprilFest is set for this Friday, April 27 from 5:30 to 8 p.m. at the Terrace Room at the Hotel at Auburn University. A play on OcotoberFest, AprilFest is a wonderful chance to enjoy craft beers, delicious food and live entertainment with a flair and taste profile for spring rather than autumn.
