MFA’s Ohio “Rock Out for the Animals” Concert Is a Hit

Nathan Runkle May 27, 2011

Ohio’s MFA supporters came out in droves to the “Rock Out for the Animals” concert in Columbus last weekend. The benefit concert was held at the popular Columbus vegan hot spot, Hal & Al’s bar, and featured local musicians Darcey Hile, Noiseblanket and Southside Chiefs.

RockOut_band2.jpgWhile some attendees satisfied their appetites with Hal & Al’s vegan favorites, like brats and dogs with all the fixins, tofu tacos and mac un’ cheese, others chose to rock out with a pint of Ohio’s own Thirsty Dog Brewing Co. beer, served in a special-edition MFA logo pint glass.

The incredibly successful evening was made possible by the amazing support of MFA interns, volunteers, and members, as well as the local community – Thank You!
