Iron Springs Pub, Fairfax Open Space To Hold 10th Anniversary Benefit Event

The following was submitted for publication on behalf of the Iron Springs Pub and the Fairfax Open Space Committee:

Iron Springs Pub and the Fairfax Open Space Committee (FOSC) are both celebrating their tenth anniversaries in 2014.

As part of Iron Springs Pub and Brewery’s tenth anniversary celebration on Saturday, October 18, a benefit concert performance will be held to raise funds for the Fairfax Open Space Committee. Proceeds from the event will primarily benefit current Fairfax, San Anselmo and Marin Open Space Trust efforts to acquire and restore Sky Ranch. The benefit fundraiser will be held in the spirit of Iron Spring’s weekly Give Back Tuesday program where 10 percent of receipts are donated to a local cause. The event will be held at Iron Springs Pub and Brewery, 765 Center Blvd. in Fairfax.

The Fairfax Open Space Committee will have an information table at Iron Springs on October 18. Wrist bands for the benefit musical performance, costing $20 each, will be available for sale beginning at 6 p.m. at the Iron Springs tenth anniversary celebration. The benefit concert will be held from 8:30 p.m. to about 11 p.m. It will feature live music performed by Mark Karan’s Buds featuring an all-star lineup of Robin Sylvester, Danny Eisenberg, Mookie Siegal and John Hanes. In addition, FOSC T-shirts, caps and bandanas will be available for sale at the Fairfax Open Space table.

Sky Ranch lies on a ridge between Fairfax and San Anselmo. It is a 16-acre property that has served as an equestrian facility for the last 50 years. It is adjacent to Marin County Open Space and Marin Municipal Water District lands. The Fairfax Open Space Committee, San Anselmo Open Space Committee, and led by the Marin Open Space Trust (MOST), are all currently raising funds to purchase and restore the property as permanent open space. MOST is in contract to purchase the $1.2 million property by February 2015. After purchase and restoration the property will be transferred to the Marin County Parks and Open Space District.
