New Chatham event blends sports memorabilia, music and suds
Article content
A Chatham sports card and memorabilia store hopes a new event will not only help promote the hobby, but also give people a chance to enjoy a cold brew with some live music.
Rockets Sports Cards plans a Beers & Bands & Cards event at The Garden on King/River Rock Social House on Aug. 19, from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m.
Billed as an all-ages event, it will also feature meet-and-greets with special celebrity guests, including WWE hall of famer “Cowboy” Bob Orton, pro wrestling legend Lisa Marie Varon (WWE “Victoria” / TNA “Tara”) and stars from Impact Wresting.
“As patrons relax and listen to live music all night, they can also visit vendor tables, purchase band merch, enjoy cold drinks, eat great food from a custom event menu and hang out with friends,” the shop says.
Two beers are included with the price of a ticket, or four soft drinks for under-agers and non-drinkers, and a swag bag with sponsor giveaways will be thrown in.
Juno-nominated band Cuff the Duke is headlining the event, along with musical acts The Cory James Mitchell Band, Truckstop Super Friends and Ron Leary.
Additional guests, as well as an updated event lineup, will be announced on social media.
Tickets are $30 and available at www.rocketssportscards.com. Sponsorship packages and vendor tables are still available.
