To commemorate Evansville’s spooky past, Evansville Design Group (EDG)’s Made in Evansville campaign revealed the Grey Lady Ghost Mug. Since that meeting, many have claimed they have seen the ghost in the library or on one of the many “ghost cams” set up throughout the building.

In 2015, the 4,000 attendees of BrewFest were exposed to more than 300 craft beers, 50 wines, 20 liquors, and endless culinary appetizers from 30 favorite local vendors. “I think the atmosphere, being at Bosse is one large draw,” says Rachel Sievers, development coordinator for SWIRCA & More. Held the last four years at historic Bosse Field, many gather to walk the baselines and sample some of the best craft beers throughout the country. SWIRCA & More, a nonprofit serving seniors, people with disabilities, and their caregivers, has built on that tradition with Brewfest, held since 2003. To many people, Evansville is synonymous with beer festivals. Photo of the Brinker’s little green box provided by Brinkers.
