Back in April, the COVID-19 pandemic waylaid plans to officially launch the "For The Love Of Starved Rock" benefit campaign, a joint fundraising project to repair trails and infrastructure within Starved Rock State Park. Now, thanks to Ottawa's own Tangled Roots Brewing Company, a new social-distance friendly event will launch part of the fundraising project in earnest on October 14th.

Held from 6 to 8pm on October 14th, inside the Tangled Roots Brewing Co. tent on Jackson Street, guests will have a chance to show their support for the park by purchasing some exclusive Path Mender Pale Ale benefit beer, available in both in bottle and on tap. One dollar from every bottle or glass of Path Mender will be donated directly to the "For The Love Of Starved Rock" fund. This pale ale, which was perviously only available in pints from the taproom or in a crowler to-go, is already gaining a cavalcade of supporters on UnTappd. With an excellent average score of 3.83, and many positive mentions of it's herbal/floral/citurus-y notes, make this west-coast style pale an excellent beer for this time of year.

“Even though the pandemic has forced a delay in our campaign, our fundraising efforts continue,” said Amy Trimble, CEO of Starved Rock Lodge, “We hope that the community will join us for this outdoor benefit to raise money to make repairs and improvements at Starved Rock State Park.”  Black Velvet, a fantastic acoustic duo from Peoria, will be providing a free live concert during the event. A silent auction and a 50/50 drawing will also take place throughout the evening, with generous prizes provided by businesses throughout Starved Rock Country. Bottles of Path Mender Pale Ale, crowler fills and limited-time apparel will also be for sale at the event. The chefs at Tangled Roots have a also devised an exclusive menu for the event, with some of your seasonal favorites.
