On Sunday, March 27, The Garage on Beck hosted Jesse Walker’s 6th annual Bunny Hop, a day-long event benefitting the Volunteers of America, Utah – Homeless Youth Resource Center.
Festivities included vinyl-spinning DJs, a raffle, hat contest, performances, dancing, special drink offerings as well as a Garage on Beck buffet, including their signature fried funeral potatoes! The venue was packed both inside and out on the patio with people eager to participate in the yearly event which heralds in the arrival of Spring—all while helping others. The sun was shining, the Easter Bunny made an appearance and a wonderful time was had by all.
