Tap Night – WMMBA Benefit and Group Ride
tagged as Cannon Township,Cannonsburg Ski Area Trail,Chapter Meeting,Cities,Community,Events,Fundraising,Grand Rapids,Group Ride,Member Meetings,Plainfield township,Trails,VolunteerThe Score Bar and Grill is launching their new “Craft Beer” line and will be tapping 120 craft beers and they would like us to help out on their new venture.
So, for one night only, they will be giving back 10% of everything they sell to the WMMBA!
All we have to do is show up, have some good food and maybe a craft beer(or so) and they will be giving back to us!
To make sure we are hungry and thirsty we will be meeting beforehand at the Cannonsburg Ski Area Trail (WMMBA) for a group ride around 5:30PM.
We’ll have a nice ride and head over to the Score for fun, food and craft beer!
