As many of you may have already heard, the recent cold spell caused several pipes above Bonfire to freeze, thaw, and burst, leading to devastating damage throughout the entire establishment. Bonfire isn’t just a place we visit—it’s a cornerstone of our community, and its owners, Pat, Candy, and Jimmy, are people who have consistently supported the people of this city in countless ways. The loss is hitting them especially hard, with the PBR event coming to town and numerous holiday parties that were booked through the end of the month now canceled. The financial impact is significant, and Bonfire has suffered a significant loss.

Anyone who knows Pat, Candy, and Jimmy knows they would never ask for help—not even now. But the truth is, they’ve quietly helped so many of us over the years, often without ever expecting anything in return. Now, with each of them supporting their own families and Christmas right around the corner, this is a moment for us to give something back. The funds raised here will help cover the costs of lost income and support their families during the holidays as they face the aftermath of this loss.

This is simply an opportunity to support people who have supported us time and time again—especially now, when they need it most. Any support you can offer is deeply appreciated, and together, we can help Pat, Candy, and Jimmy get through this incredibly difficult time.
