RAISING MONEY FOR FREDERICK COUNTY
Remember to bring your wallets, there will be an opportunity to support local non-profit organizations based right here in Frederick County.  Your $5 cover charge allows you to select one registered non-profit organization to support by placing one of their tokens in a large pot.  Purchase additional tokens for $5 each.  At the end of the night, one token will be randomly selected and that charity will walk away with a portion of the night's proceeds.
