***CANCELLED*** The Beer & Cheese Thing
2019-10-05 14:00 - 18:00
The Beer & Cheese Thing has been CANCELLED.
In light of the awful forecast for tomorrow, the Beer & Cheese Thing on Saturday, October 5, has been cancelled. We’d hoped for a beautiful autumn day – or at least a dry one – but according to The National Weather Service, we have 100% chance of rain, wind gusts up to 30mph and temps in the low 50s – totally miserable weather for event-goers. As this event is 100% outdoors, we felt it was best to cancel and try again next year. We are incredibly disappointed, especially knowing how much everyone was looking forward to this.
We will be issuing full refunds for any tickets you purchased, so please watch for those to come through, though it will likely take a few business days for the credit to show on your account.
Here’s the good news… Chef Eric still made chili, and we’ll have it available this weekend as a special, so if you’d like to come in for a bowl, we’d love to have you! AND, if you bring in your original ticket receipt from when you bought your tickets, show us and we’ll get you a BOGO FREE DRINK (craft cocktail, wine or beer, up to $9)!
Thank you so much for your understanding, and for supporting the events that we bring to the community!
