In response to another post, Rusty Diamond comments on the great turnout at Parker’s yesterday for the 5th Earl fundraiser.

David has some pics over at InDecatur to prove it.

Owners David and Brian have details on the much anticipated 5th Earl employee fundraiser…

As many of you know, the 5th Earl Market suffered severe damage due to a fire last week that started next door at Trackside Tavern. Thankfully, no one was injured; however, the damage is extensive. Due to the condition of our space, the 5th Earl Market will be closed for business until we are able to rebuild.

This rebuild will take several months, and one of the most important things to us is to retain our wonderful, hardworking and dedicated staff. Most of our team has been with us since we opened two years ago, and it is our goal to re-open with these same people, as they truly are the ones who make the 5th Earl experience what it is.

We will be hosting a fundraiser THIS Friday, Jan 30th from 5-9 pm at Parker’s on Ponce. 116 E. Ponce De Leon Ave. Decatur, GA 30030. They will be graciously donating a portion of the evening’s proceeds to the 5th Earl Market Employee Fund. Join us for a drink or bite to eat in the bar. We’ll all be there.

In addition, bartenders will be accepting checks on our behalf or donations can be sent via mail to:

5th Earl Employee Fund
Decatur First Bank
Attn: Ann Berg
1120 Commerce Drive
Decatur, GA 30030

Thank you all for your nice emails and calls-the support we have received has been
uplifting. We look forward to seeing you all on Friday.

Sincerely,

David & Brian
