"Blues night" on Monday, Sept. 22 at 8 pm to help kid with pellet lodged in brain
All invited to enjoy a night of the blues to support a good cause.
Remember the kid who was shot in the eye with a pellet gun after leaving the Molson Indy. His single mother is a waitress at a bar I used to go to. She can't work right now as she's spending too much time in hospitals and rehabilitation units with her son.
Here's the details of a great evening for a great cause.
