Producer Myles Trempe is serving as co-chair of the Slice of Springfield event featuring eight non-franchise restaurants that will put out their tastiest pizza to sample, 4:30-7 p.m. on February 10 at Mother Stewart’s Brewing Co., 102 W. Columbia St.
Participating restaurants include Bogey’s at Rocky Lakes; Buckeye Barn; Crust & Company; Fent’s Dairy Corner; Fratelli’s; The Hickory Inn; Mikey’s Pizza; and Station 1.
“There’s a real interest because as a community, we have good, local non-franchise pizzerias,” Myles told Dayton.com in an interview. “In the dead of winter, this is a place you can come and enjoy a lot of different pizza and have a good craft beer or other drink.”
Tickets cost $25 each and include at least eight squares of pizza and a drink, a choice of soft drink, beer or wine. Tickets for ages 12-under cost $10 each and will be available at the door. Attendees will also enjoy live entertainment.
Wallace & Turner is a Premier Sponsor of Slice of Springfield. Proceeds from the event will go to National Trail Parks and Recreation District and Partners for the Parks efforts. The sprayground in Snyder Park was established with Slice funds, and Myles said funds from this outing will help toward projects such as revitalizing the tennis and pickleball courts in Snyder Park in the future.
Tickets are available at the National Trail administration building at 1301 Mitchell Blvd. or at the door. Learn more.
