Bean and Aauuga

David LeClaire, beverage impresario, is holding a fundraiser at Factory Luxe on April 10th. The event is a “thank you” for those who donate to the fund providing training for Bean Fairbank’s new service dog.  The casual evening includes great craft beer, delectable Washington wine, rock and roll playing in the background, and – unlike keggers from our younger days – a cozy atmosphere. There may even be a “kissing booth” featuring the puppy!
