Thanks to Rachel for a photo of the new signage going up at Red Derby. Another amazing bar approaching a decade. File the owners squarely in the good people column:

“It’s that time of year for our annual Halloween fundraiser for the kiddos at DASH [District Alliance for Safe Housing]:

Sunday Oct 9th from 3pm – 8pm, we’ll be hosting a Derby Oktoberfest in support of DASH … we’ll be grilling up brats on the barbecue ($3 per), as well as toasting up pretzels ($1); with 100% of proceeds going to our Halloween DASH drive. Also, anyone who brings in a pound of candy or a costume (there are 63 kiddos this year) will receive happy hour prices all night long. In addition, there will be a gaggle of German beer specials … and, of course, the ability to make any beer on our 100+ list a German combo by adding a shot of Jagermeister. (For those who prefer wine… we’ll be offering our Clean Slate Riesling for $15 a bottle.)

At 9pm, we’ll be showing the second Presidential Debate on the Derby’s Big Screen. We’ll be fashioning a game of Bingo (whereby the proceeds from bingo cards also will go to DASH).”
