Vendors:

In 2023, WCTE PBS was proud to introduce a brand new vendors section that included a curated selection of vendors sure to pair well with your love of craft beer! In addition to vendors, craft brewers sold their very own merchandise!

Children's Craft Area

WCTE PBS also introduced a children's crafting area in 2024. Without the fencing, we were able to follow an even more open concept! Children were welcome and enjoyed quality crafting opportunities.

Music by Def Leprechaun

We enjoyed tunes from Def Leprechaun, one of the Mid-South's favorite Celtic groups. Their high energy vocals and instrumentals got toes a tapping and hands a clapping.
