Battle of the Bartenders is back for a new season of putting the FUN in fundraising and for our first battle of 2008 have we got a ticket for you!

We're putting two Old World Urbanites behind the bar of Marsol to show you how it was done back in the day. These guys mix real drinks, no pretty parasols for them! And just who would these Old World Urbanites be? Well let me tell you. On one side we have the CEO of the Central Valley Business Incubator, Craig Scharton. This man makes a mean martini! He'll be mixing it up with the President and CEO of the Greater Fresno Area Chamber of Commerce, Al Smith. To his way of thinking, martini's are for people who don't know what a real drink is because if you did, you'd be drinking a manhattan. Martini vs manhattan. Craig vs Al. Who's cocktail will prevail? You decide!

Because Al and Craig are serious about their drinks and they're serious about winning we need you to be the judge. You vote with your tips (cash or checks only please) and the bartender at the end of the evening with the most tips wins!

So please come and support your favorite bartender which in turn supports Creative Fresno's mural project. Drinking (responsibly) for a good cause...what could be better! Oh wait I know! All donations are tax deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law!

Battle of the Bartenders is Creative Fresno's funding vehicle allowing us to bring together the talent and other resources necessary to create artistic murals in downtown Fresno and the community at large.

You can see photos of our previous murals (including our two most recent projects) and find our more about this and other Creative Fresno events and projects by visiting our website at www.creativefresno.com.
