HotSpot Patio Project Fundraiser featuring Strawberry Jazz

Join us for a fundraiser benefiting the Hot Spot Music patio project! This project will transform our cracked, asphalt driveway into a streetside sanctuary for all. Our vision is to create a shared outdoor space for music teaching and performance, informal gatherings, or just a spot to pause for a moment and take a load off. Thank you to the Grand Event Center, the Strawberry Jazz Collective, and the entire HotSpot community for helping us turn this vision into a reality.
