Geneva Chamber of Commerce and Craft Urban are teaming up to host a fundraiser from which proceeds will be donated to the two businesses.
GENEVA, IL — Craft Urban and the Geneva Chamber of Commerce are partnering to hold a fundraiser to benefit two businesses affected by fires.
From 3-6 p.m. Aug. 14 at Craft Urban, 211 James St., all proceeds from sales of food and raffle tickets will be donated to Stockholm's Restaurant and Brewery and Parla.
A piece of kitchen equipment inside the restaurant's basement caught fire July 31, and about a week prior, on July 22, the small boutique had an electrical fire. Located at 306 W. State St. and 122 Hamilton St., respectively, both had to temporarily close as a result.
