We've had a few weeks to gather our thoughts and we finally want to say THANK YOU to everyone who joined us for the 2nd Annual Frank N Stein Craft Beer and Hot Dog Festival. More than 1,000 people filled Monroe Street for an incredible day of local beer, food, music, and community.
This yearβs event brought together 14 breweries, 12 food vendors, Cosmic Crow Tarot, and merchandise from Loving WV and Carol Grimes. We were proud to feature live performances from Weary Space Wanderer and The Fridley Boys, and we are grateful to every vendor, musician, and partner who helped make the festival such a success.
We also want to give special recognition to the City of Fairmont. After the unexpected building collapse on Monroe Street, it looked for a moment like Frank N Stein 2.0 might not be possible. Their teams worked at remarkable speed to complete demolition, clear the site, and ensure the street was safe and ready in time for the festival. Their support made this event possible.
Thank you to our sponsors for investing in this event and in our community. WVU Medicine Fairmont Medical Center served as our Hydration Sponsor, and Elevate Physical Therapy and M.C. Blankenship DDS joined us as Stein Sponsors. Your commitment helps us keep events like this accessible and successful.
We also extend our deepest appreciation to our more than 90 volunteers. Your hard work behind the scenes made the day run smoothly from start to finish, and we could not have done this without you.
Finally, congratulations to Screech Owl Brewing for winning Best of the Fest Brewery, as voted on by our guests.
Frank N Stein continues to grow because of the people who show up, support local businesses, and believe in whatβs happening in Downtown Fairmont. Thank you for making this yearβs festival unforgettable. We look forward to seeing you again next year!!!
