Watch: Bald Is Better at Park Lounge

Locals get their heads in the game to support a cure for childhood cancer.

Update: The final tally for funds raised was $78,931, surpassing the $75,000 goal.

"Our goal was $75,000 (which I considered out of reach considering last year we got $69,000) but we were able to raise $78,931," said Jim Pavese, owner of the Park Lounge. "This was an enormous achievement and it was done by the hard work of every shavee, donor and volunteer. We are all very proud and happy.  Not bad for a little town, a little bar and only our fourth year doing the event."

Local realtor George McKnight, with photos from John Gallagher and Jessica Moser put together a touching video capturing the moments of the 4th Annual St. Baldrick's Event at the Park Lounge.
