It's time for the 13th Annual Beers and Ears Party. This years event will be held on Saturday August 6th. We'll have great music, great food, and great auction items.

I'm happy to announce that the benefit for this year's event will be the Food Bank of Siouxland Backpack Program. Please visit their website to see all the wonderful services this organization provides to the people in the Siouxland area and beyond. The Backpack Program: Food for Kids helps to alleviate the hunger of students over the weekends, when they do not have the school based breakfast and lunch programs to sustain them. The program currently provides food to 2000 students each week during the school year in the Sioux City school system.

Although we may not adhere to this time schedule, here is a general timeline of party events:

4:30pm - Happy Hour 5:30pm - Dinner is served 6:30pm - Auction This year's menu includes: Sweet Corn Pulled Pork Sandwiches Beans Salads Lemonade/Iced Tea Beer

The cost of the ticket is $15 and includes a meal of a pulled pork sandwich, “all you can eat” sweet corn and various side dishes.

Items have been donated by various individuals and businesses for an auction and raffle.
