The South Side Park Committee’s fourth fundraiser for the South Side Park will take place at Acacia, South Side’s premier cocktail bar, on Tuesday, August 27th. Acacia has graciously offered their space and a generous percentage of their profits. All funds raised will go towards the signage of trails in the park and signs for the parks entrances to direct people into this great neighborhood amenity. Between Wigle Whiskey hosting us and Acacia the last two time, we have raised $970 for an entrance sign to the park near the Bandi Shaum Community Garden. Our estimated entrance sign cost is $1500 – 2000, so come and help out our park.
At 6pm there is the option of a guided tour into some of the park trails and we will throw in some steps for good measure – consider it a mini-StepTrek. The tour will take about an hour. We will meet outside of Acacia at 2108 E Carson and walk up 21st street to one of the entrances to the park. If interested in the hike, please RSVP Moss Clark at mossonthetrail@yahoo.com.
At 7pm the official fundraiser will start and will continue until 9pm. They will have delicious cocktails, a punch made specially for the evening, a beer special, a fantastic food truck, and possibly, just maybe some live music. Did we mention delicious cocktails?
