Hello friends! Hoping this article finds you all in good health. We have been very busy here at the Southbend Tavern, spring cleaning, planting, decorating, and bringing a little light to Moler and 4th with our relit Southbend sign. A special thanks to Erika and Dan for helping getting the sign re-lit.
I want to thank everyone who supported the Hairbrush Superstars event. I want to thank the members of COMiC for allowing us to host this benefit show to raise money for Equitas Health. The show raised $712! A special thanks to all the staff—especially the bartenders—for all their hard work so that we all could have a good time. I also want to thank Roxi and Stella for helping to get COMiC to choose us for the event.
On Sunday, we hosted the Miss Southbend Newcomer pageant. Iona Trailer, our first newcomer stepped down, and we crowned Mimi Sharp. Congratulations to her and her first alternate, Traci Von Trapp. G decorated the stage and it looked so nice!

Come and join Stella on Sunday, May 6 for Stella’s Showtime Shenanigans. We’ll be watching Poseidon Adventure. Later, at 5, Stella and I will be hosting a special benefit for Kaleidoscope Youth Center. We’re going to raise a month’s rent! Come out and help us support our youth! Also performing will be Miss Southbend, Jennifer Lynn Ali, Sharon Love, Kenika Schwartz, Patty Cakes, and Kel-Lay.
Earlier in the week, on Wednesday, May 2, Bill, Val, and I will be touring KYC. I’m really looking forward to seeing the center. I’ll be back at the bar on the third for Blender Thursday from noon to 6 PM.! Start off your Cinco De Mayo celebration early with a frozen margarita.

Cooking with Connie
Get your cookbooks out and let’s get cooking with Connie! On May 19, we’ll be having a potato salad cook-off! Bring your favorite potato salad and let’s have some fun while we show off our favorite recipes. I can’t wait to try all the different kinds. We’ll eat at 3 PM.
I will close for now leaving you with this thought: be kind to yourself and each other.
Until next time, take care.
Love,
Connie
