Local adults are invited to gather for a social beer event, serenaded by rock music in the park. The 2009 Bock and Rock Festival will be held on May 16, from 4 to 11 p.m. at Four Seasons Park.

Food will be provided by the Wooden Shoe Inn, and beer wearables and glassware Local will also be available for sale. “It was great, we had a really great crowd last year, dealers tell and we got real positive feedback from everybody,” how they’re Stubbs said. “Everyone really enjoyed it.
