The inaugural Bacon, Beer and Boomers will take place from 5 to 9 p.m. Sept. 24 at the Carmel Gazebo to raise funds for the Carmel Arts Council and the Alzheimer’s Association.
“The whole idea is just to have an end of the summer fun night and raise some money,” said Meg Gates Osborne, a CAC member and president of MEG & Associates, the event management team.
A Cut Above Catering will provide meals, which will include bacon tenderloin, bacon Brussels sprouts, bacon potato salad and more. Upland Brewery will sell beer at the event and wine will be available. The Carl Storie Band is playing 6 to 9 p.m. on the gazebo stage, and visitors are encouraged to bring lawn chairs. Various vendors will offer items for sale. Patty Spitler will be the emcee.
“It is a fun event that is following a busy day in downtown Carmel because of the Carmel International Arts Festival,” CAC President Vivian Lawhead said. “Once the festival closes at 6 p.m., we are hoping people want to continue that fun and come down to the gazebo area. Anything we get as proceeds that evening goes towards two things – our teacher grants that we offer annually and also high school scholarships. That’s why it’s so important for us to be involved in community events like this because we are volunteer-only and we need the support of the community.”
Tickets are $20 in advance or $25 at the gate. To register, visit getmeregistered.com/BaconBeerBoomers.
