You may have seen in yesterday’s news that there was a small fire at Bernie’s Bungalow Lounge, the host site for Sip n’ Tails. We’re all grateful that no one was hurt and the building wasn’t involved in the fire, but there is water and smoke damage. To allow Brandon and the team time to deal with clean up and repairs, we are moving Sip n’ Tails to Sunday, June 25th. If you’ have already purchased tickets, those tickets will be honored. If you haven’t yet, well, now you have time! Thanks for your understanding and support.
