Join the Festivities in Roulette this Saturday
Roulette invites the community to a delightful evening of fun and entertainment. Experience a variety of activities leading up to the spectacular fireworks display presented by the To Fill a Backpack Program, commemorating their 15th Anniversary. Meanwhile, Fillhart’s Friendly Inn, a beloved local restaurant/bar, celebrates its successful 10-year tenure.
For over a century, The Friendly Inn has been an integral part of the Roulette community. Generations have cherished memories of dining at the Inn, growing up in its warn embrace, and even enjoying their first legal beverage there. As a cherished landmark, the Friendly Inn has provided a place where people can always feel at home. Many local families have owned this establishment, and Rick Fillhart, the current owner and 10th in line, has been operating the Inn since July 2013. To express their gratitude for the unwavering support from the community, Fillhart’s Friendly Inn has organized a family-friendly evening on Saturday, July 22, from 5 PM to 9 PM.
This exciting event will take place in the parking lot at Fillhart’s Friendly Inn. Families are invited to join us for an evening filled with music provided by DJ Jason, corn hole games, and exciting giveaways. Food specials will also be available. The little ones will have their share of fun with a coloring contest, face painting, and complimentary ice cream. The event will run from 5 PM to 9 PM, after which we encourage everyone to stay in town and witness the magnificent fireworks display sponsored by the To Fill a Backpack Program (TFABP), starting at 10 PM.
TFABP, a local 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, is devoted to supporting children in Bradford, Cameron, Lycoming, McKean, Potter, and Tioga Counites. Each year, TFABP collects school supplies, packs backpacks, and distributes them to children in need throughout the region. The organization relies solely on donations and fundraisers, operating without any paid employees or administrators. Dedicated volunteers tirelessly work to raise the necessary funds to ensure every child has the supplies they need for school.
As TFABP is celebrating its 15th year, they are proudly sponsoring a spectacular fireworks display expected to last over 20 minutes. TO help cover the costs, Fillhart’s Friendly Inn is hosting a 50/50 raffle. Tickets can be purchased now at the Inn, offering one chance for $1 and ten chances for $5. The raffle winner will be drawn at 8:45 PM on Saturday evening, and all proceeds will go to the TFABP Fireworks Fund.
Additionally, Fillhart’s Friendly Inn will donate $1 from every pizza sold on Saturday, July 22, to the To Fill a Backpack Fireworks Fund. The Inn actively gives back to the community through various donations and sponsorships, sponsoring local youth athletics, community organizations, and local events. In addition, $1 from every Firehouse, Smokehouse, and Inferno Burger purchased goes to the local Roulette Fire Department.
While the events at Fillhart’s Friendly Inn from 5 PM to 9 PM and the TFABP Fireworks at 10 PM promise an incredible experience, Raught’s Roadside Kitchen will also be set up in the parking lot of the Baptist Church on Main Street, starting at 4 PM.
