One of the more popular “Colonial Cocktails” served at Dills Tavern is Cherry Bounce. The 2nd Annual “Bounce Off”, last year was won by Sean Crager. This year’s best bounce contest, the third annual, will be held as part of the events at First Friday on November 5, 2021. Entrants must have made the bounce themselves and must provide at least a 375 ml sample for submission to the judges. More than one submission per person is possible but entries will be limited to 10. Please email Murray Small to secure a spot for your entry: murman4fun@aol.com. All entries must be delivered to Dills Tavern Orientation Center by 5 pm on 5 Nov 2021.
