Fundraiser for Keith Johnstone

Keith Johnstone is a Bethany Volunteer Firefighter.

In August 2008, while working at his paid job at the Bethany Highway Department, Keith was cutting down a tree in front of Hinman Fire Station when a large, dead branch above him snapped off, hitting him in the head and slamming him to the ground where he lay motionless.

Keith was paralyzed. He spent five months at a rehabilitation hospital in Colorado where he learned to use a special wheelchair, and then returned to Connecticut.

Tickets are $25, which gets you two free draft beers and food, live entertainment by Old Skool, featuring Eddie Choiniere.

[Tickets are available at the Orange Ale House, Applebee's, Bear & Grill, Mr. Kold Kut, Bethany Town Hall, and at the door.]

The event will be emceed by radio personality Brian Smith.

Raffle prizes, silent auction and Chinese auction will be available.
