Natchitoches’ downtown riverbank was the place to be Saturday, Oct. 18 for an evening of musical fun at the Natchitoches Regional Medical Center Foundation’s seventh annual Tappedtober event, the first craft beer and wine festival of its kind in the Natchitoches area and the finest in the state. Festivalgoers were able to sample an eclectic variety of over 50 beers, wines, cocktails and whiskeys from several area breweries and distilleries in the tasting area. An array of food trucks offered savory fare to hungry festivalgoers. A larger than life TV above the main stage enabled football fans to enjoy the festival while keeping up with the day’s games. A group of NSU Hospitality Management students produced and served delicious hors d’oeuvres and desserts. The women’s soccer team and baseball teams also assisted throughout the evening.
The evening’s entertainment certainly did not disappoint! Winnfield’s own Deep Water Rehab kicked off the concert, followed by a superb set from singer Timothy White. Then the renowned 90’s Country-Rock band Little Texas took the stage for a truly memorable set of superb Country Music.
The seventh Tappedtober event was a fun filled evening of food and music! The best part is proceeds raised at Tappedtober will benefit the NRMC Cancer Center in furthering their cancer fighting mission.
