Cindy and Big Chris fundraiser

On December 1, 2021, Cindy Wood and Big Chris Songy were planning to celebrate 40 years of owning Vaughan's Lounge. For 40 years, they have created a community anchor that has fed us, entertained us, laughed with us, cried with us and celebrated with us. Whether you're a regular, a music lover, a Who Dat or only had the opportunity to visit one time, you're family. And right now your family needs you. On November 10, Cindy and Big Chris's house caught on fire. Thankfully, no one was hurt but the place they called home for 36 years was badly damaged and most of the contents were destroyed. So, after 40 years, it's our turn to say thank you to Cindy and Big Chris and help get them back on their feet. On November 28, 2021, beginning at 1:00 pm., we'll be hosting a fundraiser at Vaughan's Lounge with live music and food. We hope to see many of you in person but we're asking all of you who have ever experienced the magic of Vaughan's Lounge to donate what you can. Let's show Cindy and Big Chris the same love they've shown us for 40 years. With love and gratitude from the Vaughan's Family.
