Local Angels a local charity hosted a family fun day at the Doug Out Sports Bar and Grill. The charity was accepting donations, and provided entertainment for the children as well as haircuts for those in need.

They assist with keeping families together that are struggling to maintain custody. The day offered a variety of activities to partake in. There was a bouncy house, Clyde the miniature horse, two owls on display, carnival games and hot dogs for the kids to nosh on. They were handing out clothing and accepting donations. The Seabreacher Florida came and made an appearance as well. It was displayed out front of the restaurant and even Clyde had to get his photo taken. All for a great cause. Clyde is a miniature horse and very loving therapy horse that specializes in working with special needs children. A healthy outlet for the kiddos to work through the trauma they’ve suffered. Elaine, his handler, takes him to various events around town and offers lessons as well.
