Food Truck N’ Rock Fest remains a hit in new location
JEFFERSON TWP — Robin’s Home’s biggest event of the year was going well by the afternoon of day two — Saturday, June 7 — with plenty of people rocking out to the bands playing the nonprofit’s annual Food Truck N’ Rock Fest.
Ev Searle, the former president of the Robin’s Home board of directors, said the move from American Legion Post 778 to Sprankle Woods added to the event’s excitement. Searle said the Sprankles had offered to host the event at the woods this year, the third annual Food Truck N’ Rock Fest.
Searle said that money raised through the event is used to support Robin’s Home shelter, as well as its Veterans H.E.A.R.T. Resource Center on North Main Street in Butler.
“It all relies on grants and donations, and this is our biggest event of the year for donations,” Searle said. “We have Robin’s Home on Pearl Street, then we have the resource center, and we help men and women veterans.”
The Food Truck N’ Rock Fest kicked off Friday, June 6, and continued through Saturday with bands, food trucks, vendors and horse buggy rides. The headliner of day two of the festival was Gary Burk III, but the event featured several bands playing to crowds under a tent at Sprankle Woods.
