In the heart of historical Chesterton, Indiana, nestled among quaint shops and eateries, lies the Main Street Tap House. This unique venue, steeped in local charm, recently played host to an extraordinary event – a dueling pianos night with Felix And Fingers. This wasn’t just any evening of music and merriment; it was a fundraiser for a wonderful organization, Dressed For School, that provides clothing for children in need.
Dueling Pianos for a Cause
The evening was filled with the lively energy of Felix And Fingers Dueling Pianos, who played a wide range of requests to an enthusiastic crowd. From Bon Jovi to Gloria Gaynor, from Queen to classics like “Friends in Low Places” and “Don’t Stop Believing,” the music was as diverse as it was entertaining. The highlight of the night? A whopping $100 raised just to play “Sweet Caroline”!
This wasn’t a typical fundraiser with auctions or special money-raising activities. Instead, the generosity flowed as freely as the beer from the self-serve taps. The tips for songs and a portion of the drink sales were donated, raising well over $2600 in tips alone.
The Power of Community
The event was a testament to the power of community and the impact that can be made when we come together for a cause. Dressed For School, based in Valpo and Chesterton, operates on a simple yet powerful principle. People shop and donate to the store, and in turn, they allow needy children to shop for themselves – shoes, shirts, pants, and more.
A study some years back revealed that not having access to clean or “current” clothing can have a massive negative impact on young children. This organization works tirelessly to combat this issue, and events like the one at Main Street Tap House play a crucial role in their mission.
A Night to Remember
The Main Street Tap House, a super cool building right in downtown historical Chesterton, was the perfect backdrop for this memorable night. With its unique charm and welcoming atmosphere, it was the ideal place for the community to come together, enjoy some fantastic music, and support a worthy cause.
Felix And Fingers Dueling Pianos had a fantastic time helping raise money for Dressed For School. The combination of great music, generous hearts, and the distinctive setting of the Main Street Tap House made for an unforgettable event.
