Friday’s event brought the community together for a night of music, fun, and giving. DJ Groovin Gregg provided music and karaoke for guests to enjoy. The evening also featured 50/50 drawings, raffles, and door prizes for lucky winners.

"We're open to everyone. We want everybody to come in, feel welcome, have a great time, drink, be merry, be sociable. You know, help out our local neighbors. We never know what everybody's story is, and we really need to donate, donate, donate. It helps the West Ohio Food Bank, it helps our community, and it helps our neighbors and our friends. So that's what we're here doing," said Lara Lane, veteran bartender at Pappy’s Lounge.
