Get your Bluegrass and philanthropy fix at the Marathon Bluegrass Jam Fest held at Grandpa Eddies BBQ on Three Chopt Rd.
100% of the contributions will benefit The Richmond Fisher House which provides housing to families of soldiers that are recuperating at The MCGuire Veterans Hospital. All donations are tax deductible. You're also welcome to join in the fun if you're a you were blessed with the picker or singing talent. All abilities will be included.
My daddy is a vet & spends a great deal of time at these hospitals so this is another definite on my list! I will probably take my kids to this one too so not necessarily an "adult only event".
