RAISES MORE THAN $3,000 AT MICKEY FINN’S BREWERY

LIBERTYVILLE – Mickey Finn’s Brewery on May 17 raised more than $3,000 in support of the families of two Libertyville fallen war veterans, Sgt. Daniel Nerstrom and Spc. Wesley Wells.

The microbrewery hosted a special Bags Tourney For Fallen Veterans in which teams paid $50 entry fees.  Admission of $10 per person included free pizza and appetizers.  All money raised will be presented to the families and donations still are being accepted at Mickey Finn’s Brewery, 345 N. Milwaukee Avenue, Libertyville, IL 60048.
