Door prizes have been donated by several local businesses, including Big Slick Pomade Company, Phil Shepherd Photography, and Russo Music.

A $10 donation or $5 with a non-perishable food item is requested at the door.

Event organizers said, last year’s show raised nearly $1,200 and over 300 pounds of food.
