Well, today's post is geared towards the local music and animal lover in each and every one of us. I know, kind of a weird combination, huh? But if you put these two things together, you get Pet Festivas, a fundraiser for Camp Papillon, which will take place at Sarah Street Grill on April 14 (starting at 11:30 am).
A little background info --- The Monroe County SPCA recently closed down, leaving countless local animals homeless. Enter Camp Papillon. They took in a large amount of those animals, giving them a chance for survival. Now, the organization has an overabundance of animals and is desperately in need of foster homes, permanent homes, and are also trying to raise money to build their own shelter facility in Stroudsburg.
Here comes Sarah Street Grill --- Every year they have a fundraiser to celebrate their anniversary. This year, they have chosen Camp Papillon. Since this year marks their 14th year in business, they will be donating 14% of all their profits from April 14 to the organization. But they're not just serving food...
Enter local music. Sarah Street Grill will be hosting ten...count 'em...ten bands next Tuesday. Here's the rundown: Regina Sayles and Spencer Reed, Christian Porter, Chris Cuzme, the Pocono Duo, Bill Ruth, Tom Graham, Ansel Matthews, Johnny Rydell, Brian and Nadine from Swampadelica, and Bobby Syvarth. The music will start at 5 pm and continue until 2 am. And best of all...it's FREE!
Besides all that great music, the restaurant will also have a benefit pool tournament, raffles, and 50/50. They are also urging patrons to pick up a Pet Festivas t-shirt or donate pet supplies and money directly to Camp Papillon through the ESU Community Service Student Outreach booth.
If you were wondering, yes, there will be adoptable dogs there starting at 3pm.
You can listen to some great music, adopt a pooch, play some pool, and eat a good meal all in one day. Not bad for a Tuesday afternoon.
