For the second year, the musical duo Point Blank Range, comprised of Connect Ohio’s Bart Winegar and Brad Fuller, provided the entertainment for Coshocton’s United Way kick-off event, Taste of Coshocton County, Thursday evening.

The event draws a crowd of 500 anticipating delicious food tastings from local restaurants and caterers while raising money for local charities. Attendees receive 10 tastes for $10, and then vote on their favorite food establishment involved in the event.

Winegar and Fuller shared their musical talents with attendees, offering an eclectic mix of pop, classic rock, and blues for the two-hour event.

“We both have been involved with the local United Way in one form or another for decades because it supports many critical local programs,” said Winegar, technical outreach manager for Connect Ohio. “We are very pleased to volunteer our time and talents for such an important and far-reaching cause.”

“The United Way serves 21 organizations in Coshocton County,” said Fuller, state operations manager for Connect Ohio. “I have always believed that it is important to give back to the community that gave so much to me as I was growing up. The United Way is a perfect way to do that.”
