Local artists Peanut Gringo, Undercurrent, Meal Ticket and Jason Masi will provide entertainment in the form of instrumental, acoustic and rock sounds. For a $10 entrance fee, attendees will enjoy admittance to the show. A door raffle prize for a 2-night stay at a Virginia Beach oceanfront hotel is also up for grabs for those who choose to participate by donating extra cash.
