Benefit set to go

On this upcoming Saturday afternoon/evening – be there or be square.

January 28, 1-8 p.m. at the Pour House in Ocean City.

In case you’re wondering, the subject of the fundraiser is little 19 month old Ava DelRicco. She was gravely injured in an auto accident along Coastal Highway in Ocean City on December 16, 2011 and has been at Johns Hopkins ever since. By most accounts she’s on the mend but there’s going to be a long road to recovery for Ava and this fundraiser will help the family deal with all the expenses. As usual, the local music scene is stepping up to participate.

It’s highly likely that more items will be donated for the silent auction and, trust me, 5 dollars is a very inexpensive day out, particularly when the venue is providing complementary appetizers. After all, we’re talking about the dead weekend between the conference championships and Super Bowl and there’s no primary being held on the 28th – so there’s no excuse for any of my core audience in the area to not at least stop by the event for a little while. The band lineup looks pretty promising.

The Pour House is located at the corner of Baltimore Avenue and Wicomico Street near Ocean City’s Inlet.

Update: the event has 10 bands and has been extended to 10 p.m.
