Put on your ugliest sweater and bring along a toy to donate this Thursday, Dec. 21. Clancy’s Pub and Green Light Cannabis are putting on an ugly sweater Christmas party and toy drive to support SOWINS.

Patrons are invited to bring along a toy or to make a donation to the South Okanagan Women In Need Society. Prizes are also available for people who come in wearing their ugliest sweaters.

The event was put together by the bar’s new operators to celebrate the season after they took over in October.

“We wanted to do something nice for our first Christmas and do something to give back to the community in general, especially at this time of year,” said Jody Brown, one of the new operators.

Once they started looking for a way to give back, conversations with staff at Clancy’s gave them a perfect organization to support.

“One of our servers just came up and told me, ‘Why don’t you do SOWINS’, so I looked it up and I thought it was great,” said Brown. “Once I saw the cause it was kind of a no-brainer.”

The Ugly Sweater Party kicks off at 7 p.m. on Dec. 21 at Clancy’s on Martin Street.
