“The Mid-State Brew Crew is proud to provide our homemade wares to the people of Murfreesboro to assist in raising funds that go toward the Business Education Partnership,” said Adrian Oldham, a representative from the Mid-State Brew Crew, a local home brewers’ association.

Bands performing at ’Boro Bites and Brews include The Garden of Eden and No Name Blues; production will be provided by Kirkwood Productions.

Proceeds from ’Boro Bites and Brews will support BEP’s programs that prepare students for the workforce by connecting classroom lessons to careers. BEP is well known in the community for its tuition-free summer career exploration camps for students.

“BEP’s mission to help connect the businesses in Rutherford County with the students is something that I believe in. Their mission to help students to begin to explore the types of jobs that exist for them upon graduation and teaching the skills that are valuable in the business world are a great asset to both the students and the community,” Stones River Total Beverages owner Charlie Patel said.

The ’Boro Bites and Brews festival will be held outdoors at Murfreesboro Medical Clinic.

“MMC is honored to act as a sponsor and host for the ’Boro, Bites & Brews event,” Murfreesboro Medical Clinic CEO Joseph A.
