Happy hour will help hungry neighbors in need

The Laguna Food Pantry will rock downtown with its second annual PantryPalooza happy hour fundraiser with live music by The Agave Bros. on Friday, June 10 from 5 – 7:30 p.m. at the Marine Room Tavern, 214 Ocean Avenue. La Sirena Grill will provide a build-your-own taco bar with all the fixings. Admission is $60 per person in advance, $70 at the door on a space-available basis. Tickets will be available later this week at www.lagunafoodpantry.org. No-host bar; guests must be 21 or older.

Opportunity drawing tickets will be sold to win chances for prizes that include dinner for two at The Loft at Montage Laguna Beach including taxes and gratuity (value $200).

The Agave Bros. is a Laguna Beach band formed by musicians who have been playing together and separately for years. Members include Bob Campion on lead vocals, Santi Pierini, guitars and vocals, Geoff Glass, bass, Russell Pierce on drums and Steve Reid on percussion. The band plays danceable rock from the ‘60s to current hits. The Agave Bros. put their own spin on music from The Beatles, Rolling Stones, U2, Santana, Ryan Adams, Bowie, and Pink Floyd, with some Motown thrown in. Guests are likely to hear musical gems they haven’t heard played live in ages.

Every weekday, Laguna Food Pantry distributes 2,000 pounds of free, fresh, nutritious groceries to hundreds of shoppers from area low-income households. Fully 50 percent of the consumers of the Pantry’s food are babies and children. Located at 20652 Laguna Canyon Road north of the Dog Park, the Pantry is open from 8 to 10:30 a.m. Monday through Friday. New volunteers and donors are always welcome.
