Clarion Cheers and Beers Walk to raise money for fireworks
CLARION — The Clarion Cheers and Beers Walk, sponsored by Northwest Bank, is an annual fundraiser to help pay for the fireworks for the “I Love Clarion” celebration in July. This year’s 12th annual Cheers and Beers Walk is back by popular demand.
On Friday, May 3, there will be a total of 20 vendors participating including wineries, seven distilleries and four microbreweries. This is the biggest list of vendors that have ever participated in the walk, allowing for 16 downtown businesses to host vendors from out of town as well as two local microbreweries from the list of vendors.
Of those, almost half of the vendors are new and have never attended this event. Of the downtown business hosts, six of those have never had the opportunity to participate in the past.
Another addition this year are several downtown restaurants that are staying open later and/or are creating special menu items for walking with or eating while waiting your turn at the different locations.
“If you have never been to the Clarion Cheers and Beers Walk, this year is a great year to join us for the first time,” organizers said in a news release. “If you’ve been to one, some or all, you will not be disappointed in how large the event has grown this year as there will be half a dozen more vendors than have ever been here before. Either way, grab your tickets at the Clarion Area Chamber, at sponsor Northwest Bank, from a Chamber Board Member or from one of many of the host businesses who are participating this year.”
Tickets are $25 in advance for the 5 p.m. time slot or $30 for the early bird 4 p.m. time slot or at the door for $30 for regular or $35 for early bird.
