I pondered on what is it about the Musikfest Mug that people are drawn to it. I continued my journey through several music, vendor &amp; food tents talking to people and taking pictures as I went. I was overwhelmed by the support of all Musikfesters\u2019 and the stories they had to tell! More stories that can be printed here. Nick M., reports that there are people that have collected every Mug since Musikfest began in 1984, that would be a great picture to see! M\u2019fest Mugs throughout the years. After hearing all the stories and the comradery from everyone, I decided to join the Mug Club &amp; made my first purchase last night.
