2. Shave It for the Kids School Supplies Drive
Industry pros go bald for a good cause on Sunday. If Byrd & Barrel meets its school supplies collection goal, a dozen pros including the chicken eatery’s Bob Brazell, Quincy Street Bistro’s Chris Ladley, The Libertine's Ben Bauer and Earthbound Beer’s Stuart Keating and Ryan Pier will shave their heads outside Byrd & Barrel. Make it happen by dropping off supplies from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the South City eatery, then stick around for the main event.
