Indianapolis, Indiana – This evening in Indianapolis, a party with a purpose celebrates its tenth anniversary. “Operation Alpha” raises money for Assisting Veterans and Families of Indiana while uplifting people and making them smile.
Travis Barnes, the founder of Hotel Tango Distillery and a handicapped veteran of the United States Marine Corps, is the brains behind the event.
Food, beer, wine, and spirits will be available that evening, all with a regional flavor. According to the organizers, there will be liquors from Hotel Tango as well as Upland Brewing, Sun King Brewing, and The Wine Group. A whiskey pull, personalized cigars, and a “Grog Bowl Ceremony” with a military theme are also promised during the occasion.
The event’s proceeds go toward helping the work of HVAF Indiana, a nonprofit organization that houses, assists, and represents veterans and their families.
“Operation Alpha” is not a stuffy event; parking is free and casual attire is welcome.
