The Museum Hill District in St. Joseph will be adorned with walkers on Saturday as an annual event returns for an outstanding tenth year.
The 10th annual Beer Walk for the Arts is on Saturday giving people the chance to view some local historic architecture and drink some local beers.
Executive Director of the Allied Arts Council Teresa Fankhauser says there's also local food and local music, making the event a real community effort.
"Because our musicians, the food vendors, everybody's volunteering to help raise money for the arts fund so that our non-profit organizations can continue serving our community by producing quality art events," Fankhauser tells host of the KFEQ Hotline Barry Birr.
Check in for the walk will be at the Wyeth Tootle Mansion on Saturday and walkers will explore seven different historic homes between 2 and 5 pm.
Co-Chair of the Beer Walk for the Arts Robbie Morton says the walk is a good chance to see some of the historic homes in St. Joseph.
"They're beautiful, the owners are very nice and let us walk in and view the work that they've done to restore them and keep them as period accurate as possible, and so it's just a fun event," Morton says.
Funds from the Beer Walk for the Arts go towards the arts fund and Fankhauser says on average it has raised between $6,000 and $8,000.
Morton says there are multiple factors that have made the beer walk successful during its ten-year run.
"We try and strive to present the best homes, the best foods, and the best beers that you just can't get everywhere, and it just creates a great event," Morton explains.
Tickets are still available to purchase online HERE and will be available up until Saturday. Tickets can also be purchased on Saturday at the Wyeth Tootle Mansion.
