SEYMOUR >> Little did the founders of Smoke in the Valley know back in 2011 that what began as a simple fundraiser to raise money for a travel softball team would grow into one of the largest craft beer festivals in New England.

But that’s what happened, according to one of the festival founders, Chris Adamo, who along with fellow co-founders Matt Bronson and Bob Findley, are gearing up to host the 5th annual Smoke in the Valley craft beer, food truck and music festival.

The event has grown so big that it’s being held two days, from 5 to 10 p.m. Oct. 2 and from 1 to 5 p.m. Oct. 3 on the grounds of the Seymour Community Center, 20 Pine St. Admission for Oct. 2 is $25 in advance and $45 in advance for Oct. 3.
“The event continues to grow by leaps and bounds each year,” Adamo said.
