Although Pepe, who is based south of Boston, usually has everything shipped to the festival site, this year the party of five is renting an RV and turning it into a road trip like the Griswolds, he said.
Founded in 2012 to highlight gourmet food trucks and craft breweries for a “day of eating, drinking and fun, FTFA expanded the festival to two days in 2019.
Pepe also hosts the Diehards Radio Show, a national sports radio talk show recorded in his home studio and broadcast on 95 U.S. stations including WTKP in Panama City. Radio s been my life for 25 years, said Pepe, who started working with FTFA three years ago as a marketing director and radio partner before becoming owner in November 2020.
