What makes Greg Conner smile? “My kids and a packed Forest Park Aquatic Center on a hot sunny summer day,” said the 40-year-old Noblesville resident, who was found at the Aquatic Center. Conner is president of the board of directors for Friends of Central Pool, a nonprofit that operates the pool and consists of dedicated volunteers like Conner. Noblesville Brewfest, to benefit the Aquatic Center, will be this Saturday at Forest Park. The weather looks like it will be a beautiful day. The 14th annual event, which will feature the band Roughouse, will be 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday with tickets available on the Noblesville Brewfest Facebook page. The Friends of Central Pool partnered with the City of Noblesville in 1997 to save the pool from demolition. The community pool is now operated by the nonprofit and the Brewfest is put on by an all-volunteer group.
