Weekend in review: Brewgaloo, Merlefest and more

Out & About was busy this weekend! 

Here's a roundup of some of our weekend coverage: 

Downtown Raleigh's City Plaza was packed Saturday for Brewgaloo. The craft beer celebration also included local music and food trucks. With so many people in line for beer and food, I could definitely see the event moving to an even bigger venue next year. 

 

Fayetteville's 30th Dogwood Festival

Fayetteville's Festival Park was filled with food, music and rides during the Dogwood Festival this past weekend. Check out our pics!

 

 

Merlefest rocked the campus of Wilkes Community College in Wilkesboro over the weekend. Alison Krauss and others took the stage!

WRAL's Sloane Heffernan competed in the Dancing like the Stars competition at the Southern Women's show on Saturday. She ended up taking second place behind USA Baseball's Jake Fehling, who shook his booty to "I'm Sexy and I Know It."
