There are lots of ways to support public<br />
television and radio. You can phone in a pledge,<br />
donate an old car, or book p<strong>as</strong>sage on one of<br />
our bus trips. We have a philosophy at <strong>WQLN</strong>,<br />
and that is to put an “F”, a “U,” and an “N” in all<br />
fundraising, because nothing spells fun like a<br />
<strong>WQLN</strong> Community Event.<br />
Our events se<strong>as</strong>on will begin <strong>this</strong> year on April<br />
20 at our 7th annual Erie Micro Brew Festival.<br />
This is the event that people call the official start<br />
of spring – and just like spring, much of Brew Fest<br />
2013 will be like l<strong>as</strong>t year. It will be held at The<br />
Brewerie at Union Station, and all of your favorite<br />
micro breweries will be there, <strong>as</strong> will the home<br />
brewers from the Meadville Brewing Society and<br />
the Home Brewing Association of Erie County.<br />
Also returning will be the World Famous One<br />
Man Band, our Beer Boutique, and the Annual<br />
Peoples Choice awards for best beer and brewery.<br />
What’s different about <strong>WQLN</strong>’s 2013 Micro Brew<br />
Festival is also what sets it apart from all other<br />
brew festivals. This year we will get back to beer<br />
fundamentals and focus on nanobreweries. Nanos<br />
are the really small production houses that live<br />
outside of the data-driven world of marketing<br />
reports and social trends. The beer made at a<br />
nanobrewery is made because it “seemed like a<br />
good idea at the time.” Sometimes they get it,<br />
and sometimes they... have to try again, but the<br />
sampling is always fun.<br />

On April 27 you can burn off those hoppy beer<br />
carbs on our annual Gears to Beers bicycle tour.<br />
The tour will feature a 23-mile ride from <strong>WQLN</strong><br />
in Summit Township and follow a picturesque<br />
route to the Sprague Farm and Brew Works in<br />
Venango. If you would like a more challenging<br />
ride, we will also offer a second ride that will<br />
follow an out-and-back 40 mile course from the<br />
Sprague Farm. Use your GPS, and watch the<br />
route “draw” a giant gl<strong>as</strong>s of beer.<br />
In June, our annual American roots concert,<br />
The Crawford County Music Fest, will return to<br />
theSpragueFarmand Brew Works. Thisyear we’ve<br />
moved the date to June 29, and <strong>as</strong> of <strong>this</strong> writing all<br />
acts will finish before 9:00pm. So far we’ve signed<br />
l<strong>as</strong>t year’s super group The Folkadelics to return,<br />
and they will join 3 other bands yet to be named.<br />
