More than 400 people streamed into a transformed Brickyard Friday, Dec. 2, to support the Women’s Resource Center of Manatee and to hear Bradenton Blues Festival headliner Larry McCray.
Guests were greeted with a spectacular nightclub scene that featured club-style tables and lounge seating, dance area and stage. The event also boasted a Blues-themed martini bar, passed appetizers, seafood bar, shrimp bowl and salads, all of which were catered by O-Bricks. Dancing with a DJ followed the two-hour set from McCray and his band.
