Six Alley restaurants unite for SPCA

Restaurants in The Alley are joining forces this week to celebrate the dog days of summer with the first Alley Fest.

Organized by the owners of The Alley’s six restaurants, the event is a benefit for the Aiken SPCA and is a joint effort of Up Your Alley, Papa Russ’s BBQ, West Side Bowery, Davor’s Cafe, Aiken Brewing Company and Takosushi.

SPCA volunteers will man the entrances to The Alley from 6 to 9 p.m. Thursday selling Alley Fest admission wristbands for $2, in different colors for minors and adults.

Adults with a wristband can carry open containers on the festival grounds from a Budweiser beer tent that will be set up in The Alley, courtesy of AB Beverage Company.

“This is going to be, we hope, the first of four or five events like this a year, each for a different charity,” said Russ Richardson, owner of Papa Russ’s BBQ. “We’re happy to be downtown and trying to create interest in being downtown. All the restaurants in The Alley like the SPCA – there’s something about this community and its animals – so it was a natural choice.”
