WILD WEST WHISKEY FEST

The 3rd Annual Whiskey Wishes event, Wild West Whiskey Fest, will feature whiskey tastings (with a heavy focus on bourbon), a whiskey raffle, a bonus raffle, whiskey seminars, live music, western-themed entertainment and activities, and delicious food catered by Hog Heaven.

The event takes place on April 13th at Gordon Green from 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm. One hundred percent of the event proceeds will go towards granting the wishes of A Special Wish Northeast Ohio children who have been diagnosed with a life-threatening illness.

The $90 General Admission ticket includes 10x ½ oz. pours with 50+ whiskeys to choose from and 1 food ticket. The $35 Designated Driver ticket includes 1 non-alcoholic beverage from the bar and 1 food ticket. Complimentary coffee from Lionheart and ice cream will be available at the event. Guests will have the opportunity to order more food for an additional cost.

1 food ticket will include the following:

• House-smoked pulled pork with brioche slider buns, pickles, cheddar cheese, and candied jalapenos
• Homestyle mac & cheese
• Country-style "all-day" green beans
• Traditional garden salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, and croutons; served with ranch or balsamic vinaigrette
• Cornbread muffins with whipped honey butter

Members from the Cleveland Bourbon Co-op will be on hand to pour and provide an educational experience throughout the tasting portion of the event. Wine, beer, and vodka drinks will be available for purchase at the cocktail bar.

The whiskey raffle will feature up to 25 whiskeys, including rare finds, and guests will have the chance to purchase $20 raffle tickets at the event, all to raise funds for A Special Wish Foundation! Raffle winners will be announced starting at 5:30 pm - winning ticket holders will need to present an ID before taking the bottle home or will have the option to schedule a pick-up time for a later date. The event will also offer a bonus raffle which will feature high-value items.

The event will be equally as exciting for non-whiskey drinkers with live music being performed by local artists, Sammi Butler and Marina Strah, along with axe throwing, western-themed entertainment provided by Pickup-stix, and more! Card and cash will be accepted at the bar and for the raffle.

Tickets to Wild West Whiskey Fest are nonrefundable and non-transferable.
