By Katie Wedell, Staff Writer
Is your bracket busted yet?
Whether you’re still in the running to win your office pool, or you could care less about college basketball, these bar best bets will bring out the March Madness in everyone.
Avery March Madness contest
Boston’s Bistro and Pub and South Park Tavern are among 16 bars across Ohio competing in Avery Brewing Company’s March Madness competition to sell the most of two beers, Avery White Rascal White Ale and Avery India Pale Ale.
Boston’s will be selling both varieties by the pint for $3 or in half-gallon growlers for $14 ($9 if you already have a growler). South Park is offering either beer in a 14 oz. glass for $3 each.
Each week the bars sales will be tallied and compared to that week’s bracket competitor. The winner moves on for another week. Help your favorite bar earn bragging rights for the whole year by stopping in and ordering a pint.

A Celebration of Life for Dan Stork
The band Flashback had originally planned a benefit concert for March 28 to help out their ailing keyboardist Dan Stork. They were in the midst of recruiting local bands to play the show when Dan passed away March 14.
The show must go on, the way Dan would have wanted it to.
“Dan has supported live music in the Dayton area for many, many years. We just want to show our appreciation and dedication to this wonderful family,” said Flashback band member Brenda Lambros.
The band lineup for the show is: White Rabbit, Lost Highway, Betty Lane, Night Reign, The Johnsons, Diddley, Yellow Snow Cones, Karizma. In addition to lots of live music there will be raffles throughout the day, with all proceeds going to Dan’s wife Peggy to help with bills.
- Where: Upper Deck Tavern, 2651 Blanchard Avenue, Moraine
- When: 2 p.m.-midnight, Sunday, March 28
- Admission: $5

Catch it at home with snacks from the store and beer from the carryout. Helluva lot cheaper.
