A recent meeting of the Caroline County Board of License Commissioners highlighted two upcoming community events aimed at supporting local causes and fostering community engagement.

The first event, titled "Love for Lisa," is a fundraiser scheduled for August 9 from 3 PM to 10 PM at the Cow Barn in Denton. This event aims to raise funds for a local family facing a cancer diagnosis. Tracy, the event organizer, detailed plans for the fundraiser, which will include live music, food, and a controlled environment to ensure safety. Attendees will be wristbanded and ID-checked to manage alcohol consumption effectively. The majority of the proceeds will go directly to the family in need, with a portion allocated to a scholarship fund. The board unanimously approved the temporary license for this event, emphasizing its importance to the community.

The second event discussed was "Mactoberfest," set for October 25. This year, the organizers plan to offer a limited tasting experience featuring two types of beer and a selection of wine. Participants will receive tickets to verify their tastings, ensuring responsible consumption. The event aims to raise funds for the scholarship fund while providing a fun and engaging atmosphere for attendees. The board had previously approved the license for Mactoberfest, and the tasting plan was well-received.

Both events reflect the community's commitment to supporting local families and fostering a sense of togetherness. The board's approval of these events underscores the importance of community-driven initiatives in Caroline County, providing opportunities for residents to come together for a good cause while enjoying local entertainment.
