This is what summer Saturday nights are supposed to look like.

A table on Charters Patio. Something good to eat. A cold drink in your hand. Your people around the table. And live music carrying through downtown Vandalia. All while your favorite Copper Penny server takes care of you.

South of 16 plays tonight from 7:00–10:00 PM.

Come hungry. Stay awhile.

Friday night plans come by the bucket.

Grab your crew and a $16 beer bucket, find a spot on Charters Patio, and settle in for the evening.

Layne Hosick is playing live from 6:00–9:00 PM, the kitchen is cooking, and the buckets are cold.

That sounds like a Friday night to us.
