Jell-in at the Cellar

One of the hottest places in town is the Cellar Bar. I've said that before.

But they sure know how to cool down over there. The new Thursday night special at the Cellar is women's Jell-O wrestling, and the pictures on Facebook speak for themselves.

If you're interested in attending, see below. If you're interested in becoming a contestant, sign up for Facebook and "like" the Cellar.

Here are a few more events around town this weekend:

• Back by popular demand is The Arch, a local rock/classic rock band playing from 6-10 p.m. every Thursday on the patio at , 1200 First Ave. W. (off Barcarrota Boulevard on the Manatee River).
