Downtown Napoleon | 4 p.m.
Witches Brew is a shopping/pub crawl that is held in downtown Napoleon.
Witches Brew started with the idea that girls just “wanna have fun” and “do good” at the same time. Witches Brew was created as a win/win event. Women can gather their brooms and friends and fly from shops, pubs and restaurants collecting freakishly good witches treats and brews and have a wicked good time! The “do good” part is that all proceeds from ticket sales and the event benefit Northwest Ohio CASA, The Center For Child & Family Advocacy and the children’s programs at Henry County Hospital.
This event is a fundraiser that is marketed mainly to women who want to have a fun time with friends which also benefits children in their community.
P.S. Wizards and Warlocks are welcome too!
