Stumpy's Pub

❤️🐾 THANK YOU, STUMPY’S FAMILY! $3,000 FOR PAWS! 🐾❤️

What a weekend.

After 15 years of Stumpy’s, we’re reminded once again that this place has always been about so much more than drinks and music — it’s about the people and the community that have supported us along the way.

Thanks to all of YOU, Stumpyfest raised $3,000 for PAWS of Winnebago County! 🐶❤️

To every customer who came out, bought a raffle ticket, participated in the 50/50, tipped during our PAWS hour, brought your dog, entered the Dog Trick Contest, played bags, grabbed a lawn chair or simply showed up to celebrate with us — THANK YOU!

A HUGE thank you to our sponsors who helped make the weekend possible:

❤️ Castle Gaming
❤️ Abbott Plastics
❤️ AA Affordable Painting
❤️ Forest City Communications
❤️ Maggie & Strong
❤️ Bergman Cleaning Services
❤️ Slabaugh Services, Inc. / I ❤️ DIRT
❤️ Affordable Cremation & Funeral Service
❤️ LawnCare by Walter
❤️ Cherry Valley Pour House

❤️Sizz and Fizz and Maciano’s

And how about the MUSIC?! 🎶🍻

A huge thank you to:

🎶 Rollin Dubs for kicking off the weekend Friday night
🎤 Riley Sanders
🎸 Mike Owens
🎶 On the Rocks

You guys gave us an incredible weekend of live music!

To PAWS of Winnebago County and all of their volunteers — thank you for bringing out the adoptable dogs and for everything you do for animals in our community. 🐾

And finally, a HUGE thank you to our Stumpy’s staff and every volunteer who worked their tails off before, during and after Stumpyfest. Events like this don’t happen without people willing to put in the work behind the scenes.

15 YEARS OF STUMPY’S. 🍻

We couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate it than surrounded by our customers, friends, staff and community — while raising $3,000 for PAWS!

From all of us at Stumpy’s…

THANK YOU, ROCKFORD! ❤️🐾🍻

Here’s to the next 15! 🍻
