PEPSI - a greater presence at MUMFEST

The  Pepsi Minges Bottling Group has been a Mumfest sponsor for many years. Since New Bern is the birthplace of Brad’s Drink, now known world-wide as Pepsi-Cola, we are happy to promote their presence at the festival.

Pepsi products are sold by the New Bern Lion’s Club members from the Pepsi carts located throughout the festival area. We share the proceeds with the Lion's Club which they use for their programs and projects that help the visually impaired. It is a partnership that has been in effect for many, many years, a partnership that benefits both organizations.

This year Pepsi will have a greater presence by adding to the mix of attractions. Large Pepsi and Mountain Dew inflatables will add color to the midway area. There will be a Pepsi Sampling Wagon with sample coolers and Willy the Hillbilly, the Mountain Dew’s mascot will be on site throughout the festival to “meet and greet” and add to the gayity and mix of roving characters, clowns and magicians.

We appreciate the support Wade Cline and the Pepsi Minges Bottling Group extends to Mumfest. We know the public appreciates it too.

Susan Moffat Thomas
Executive Director

  2. Susan, after attending MUMFEST for the past 7 years, I didn't know about the relationship between the Pepsi Minges Bottling Group and the New Bern Lions Club. What a great cause! Thanks for sharing. - Wendy Card
