Reel Bar, Put-in-Bay, will be conducting a fundraiser again this year involving their bar stools

Patrons may have noticed last year that all of their bar stools had names painted on them. The names belonged to islanders, regulars, tourists and even a few unknown folks. Reel Bar allowed anyone who donated $100 to one of three island charities to have their name painted on a bar stool for the season. In doing so, they raised a combined $3,000 for the Put-in-Bay Fire Department, the Lake Erie Islands Historical Society and the Put-in-Bay Youth Swim Sail Program.

The barstools have received a fresh coat of white paint and are ready for new names in return for a charitable donation for the 2015 season. Donations may be made beginning Friday while stools last. Call the Reel Bar for details.
