The Super Star Bartender Bash is Sunday June 8th!


Once again this year, The Wake Up Q’s Chris Allinger is participating in the Super Star Bartender Bash at the Boatyard Grill this Sunday!

Support Chris…or…”Spanky Swizzlestick” as he’s called when he’s bartending…from 4-5PM this Sunday.  Or you can make a donation on his First Giving page

Ithaca community leaders and celebrities will be showing off their skills in mixology from 4 to 7 under the tent at the Boatyard Grill.  They’re mixing it up to raise money for the AIDS Ride for Life.  They’re also competing for who can raise the most money in tips!  Of course, all tips are donated to the Southern Tier AIDS Program.

The event is free and there will be food available with a portion of the proceeds going to the cause.  Plus, you’ll be entertained by “Odd Man Out” performing during the event!

Come on out for something cool to drink and be sure to TIP YOUR BARTENDER!
