Connecting w/ Marc Silva & Rondell Simon-Felix, Crafted Beer Fest

Sometimes, when you love craft beer enough... you get approached to start a Beer Fest!

At least that's the story behind Marc Silva and Longview's Crafted Beer Fest. And Marc got even luckier when his fellow Rotarian, and member of the Longivew Rotarty (Noon Edition), Rondell Simon-Felix agreed to do the Crafted Podcast with him.

This year's Crafted Beer Fest is on August 16th, with options from FORTY breweries and while you're there, you can enjoy another of our Local Rotary's events- SQUIRRELFEST 2025, all at the Longview Civic Circle.

Listen to our full episode to hear about the birth of the beer fest, the inception of the Crafted Podcast, and how you can listen to their episode online OR in person at J Squared Barrel House.

Make sure you follow along on their socials to get updates on this year's festival and upcoming podcast episodes.

Thank you to our sponsors, Servpro of Longview/Kelso and JoJo + CoCo Boutique
