The Walper Hotel presents Taps & Apps in support of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Waterloo Region on Thursday, Oct. 19.

BUT ANYWAY - your favourite local restaurants, breweries, live music and fun times all for a great cause at one of the region's most distinctive landmarks--the Walper Hotel. Admission includes access to the event, 10 food samples and 10 drink samples donated by their generous partners.
