And as always, remember to tell 'em... the "average guy" sent you!

Event:
Location: Bar 145, 5305 Monroe Street, Toledo, Ohio 43623

I have not been compensated in any way for this advertisement of this event.  Bar 145 has become one of my “wife to be” and my favorite places in Toledo to entertain our taste buds. We both believe that the event serves to benefit more than just the diners, but also, the community at large with the generosity of the donations to the Toledo Children’s Hospital.
