crafted beer sponsors festival &

STORY BY LYNN LOFTON
“Artfully Crafted” Blue Moon beer is the ideal presenting sponsor for the Peter Anderson Arts & Crafts Festival and has been for six years.
“It’s been a wonderful partnership with Blue Moon through F.E.B. Distributing Company, and we’re looking forward
to continuing to work with them,” said Cynthia Dobbs Sutton, executive director of the Ocean Springs Chamber of Commerce-Main Street-Tourism Bureau, sponsors of the Peter Anderson Arts & Crafts Festival.
Blue Moon celebrated two decades last year for the brewery founded in 1995 in Denver, Colo., by Keith Villa who created Blue Moon White Belgian-Style Wheat Ale.
When F.E.B. Distributing brought the Blue Moon partnership to the Peter Anderson Arts & Crafts Festival years ago, it was a perfect match of creative economy and creative brewing, Sutton said.
“Their concept and focus on the community have settled well with the art and economy of Ocean Springs and the Mississippi Gulf Coast,” she added.
BLUE MOON PARTNERSHIP WITH THE PETER ANDERSON FESTIVAL WAS A PERFECT MATCH OF
CREATIVE ECONOMY AND CREATIVE BREWING.
