Pub Patio Hosts Pet Project March 16

Toss a few bean bags and toss back a few beers. It’s going to be an afternoon of paws and awwws when Pub On the Drive hosts Toss Fur Paws. The Cornhole event benefits The Pet Project and is set for Saturday, March 16 at 2 p.m.
Teams are already practicing and raising money. Wilton Manors Animal Hospital and Team Cornhole Chicks are on the leaderboard, but new teams are still encouraged to register.
The Pet Project works to keep people and their pets together. Often people have critical health and financial crises and feel they can’t care for, or afford to, keep their pet. Pet Project works to avoid having to surrender animals. For many, a pet is a person’s only source of positive engagement or interaction.
Pub On the Drive does a lot of work with the organization and is thrilled to be hosting this party. It will be the first Toss Fur Paws since their new patio opened, making the Wilton Drive fave even more pet friendly.
To register or learn more about their work, visit ThePetProjectFL.org.

Roby Tannenbaum is one half of the husband-husband team with Brett Jay that owns The Venue Fort Lauderdale, an event space right on Wilton Drive.
“We do pretty much every kind of event you can possibly imagine. We do weddings, bar mitzvahs, sweet 16s, corporate events, charity events,” Tannenbaum said. "Everything top to bottom, from small events to large events. I've done everything from 50 people to 1,500 people. And it just depends on what the client needs and that's what we're there for.”
Tannenbaum says that his favorite part of hosting events is the connection he makes with his clients.

“I love the whole process of planning it because it gives me a chance to get to know my clients and it's like we become part of each other's families because we get to put on this most important day for them,” Tannenbaum said.
He grew up a military brat, living in Texas, Germany, Wyoming, and Colorado. He’s called Florida home since he was 14 years old.
“It was quite entertaining, getting to meet different cultures and different aspects of different places. But by far Florida is my favorite,” he said. -- Mary Rasura
