ASTORIA — Fort George Brewery’s next Last Tuesday Benefit Night event is set for Tuesday, July 26.

Presented by the brewery and Friends of McClure Park, this month’s event will support the initiative to purchase and install a 30-foot hillside slide in McClure Park.

All are invited to the upstairs Fort George pub for an evening of food, beverages, a silent auction and fun. From 4:30 to 9 p.m., all profits from sales in the upstairs pub will be donated to Friends of McClure Park.

Donations may also be made at the Friends of McClure Park’s GoFundMe site: gofundme.com/onc88g

Friends of McClure Park is a nonprofit composed of about 40 residents working to restore the park to its former glory. McClure Park is located at Eighth Street and Franklin Avenue.
