Cocktails, anyone?
Trio Bistro-Bar-Bottle restaurant, 315 Market Street in downtown Roanoke, will host two upcoming Cocktails for a Cause events for the benefit of critters in the Valley. The first event on April 30 will help build a fence for the off-leash dog park. The second event on May 7 benefits the RVSPCA.
Twenty percent of all sales between 5 and 8 p.m. will be donated to the causes.
As I have blogged before, NewVaConnects is the force behind fencing in the dog park. Recognizing that it is completely insane to let your pooch run off-leash in the unfenced Fishburn Park, which is borderd by busy Brambleton Avenue, the group is trying to raise $30,000 to build a fence and add other amenities to the park. The group will announce the winner of the dog park logo contest at the Cocktails for a Cause event.
