December 4th - Empty Stocking Fund Run
Join in on our big fundraiser event next Tuesday. A portion of the proceeds from the bar tab will be donated to Empty Stocking Fund. We will also ask for you to donate $5.00 to eat the delicious appetizer buffet upstairs. This is a fun activity that we did last year and raised alot of money to benefit local local health and human service agencies.  See the website at http://emptystocking.coloradosprings.com/ for more information.

For our next run on Tuesday, December 5^th we will be doing a "Jingle Bell Run."  We encourage everyone to wear holiday attire such as antlers, Santa hats, costumes, etc.    This is a great opportunity to get creative with the flashlight requirement!  And for those of you who like to bake, we encourage you to bring your best homemade cookies to share with the crowd.   In addition, Jack Quinn's will be baking cookies and will have a holiday cider on special at the bar
