Russell Glass (River City
Distributing - Director of Wines & Spirits) said, "The Midwest Rum Festival
and its focus on consumer traffic is just the type of event that we as
distributors of fine aged rums want and need to support. Rum is a category that
is poised to surge in the wake of other aged spirits growth in popularity among
all types of consumers. While rum is arguably more approachable than many other
spirits, namely whiskey. Fine aged rums still need more consumer awareness and
trial."
Attendees to this event will enjoy live entertainment starting with tropical
and local musicians playing fun music for your entertainment. In addition, a number of Rums Ambassadors
will be offering seminars about the spirit of the sugar cane . There are tickets available to give you all
or any part of the festivals activities.

I'm looking forward to hearing more about this inaugural event as the information becomes available. It is a first of its kind event in the Midwest, and a new frontier for rum. With all of the new grass roots distilleries popping up in the Midwest, this should be a really fun and educational event. ;o)
