This unforgettable show — “A Salute to Conway & Loretta” — is more than a concert. It’s a living, breathing celebration of two of country music’s most iconic voices. And this special date includes a Loretta Lynn Christmas performance to warm your heart and stir up holiday nostalgia.
You’ll hear timeless hits like:
“Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man”

“Hello, Darlin’”
“Coal Miner’s Daughter”
…plus heartwarming Christmas songs and personal stories that make this night one-of-a-kind.

The Rat Pack Christmas Party Benefit at VRBC
2025-12-17 16:00 - 23:00 | Vermilion River Beer Company, 103 N. Vermilion St., Danville, IL, 61832, United States
For those unfamiliar, one of our owners has been doing this for 25 years and is bringing it home to us here at VRBC. Handed down to him from the Chairman of the Board himself, the intent of the Rat Pack Christmas party is to gather together while gathering some gifts for a couple of great causes.

First, the Women’s Shelter at the Crosspoint Human Services. The shelter itself can use items such as toiletries, bedding, etc., but we always want the women and children of the shelter to enjoy some gifts from the heart.

Secondly, Food for the Children run by our friend Rose Gates. Child hunger is a reality here in our back yard and Rose has answered the call. Beginning as one individual sending a handful of students home with a backpack of food home for the weekend, the cause has grown exponentially to provide services as a team throughout Vermilion County.

A list of needs will be provided this week and posted here on the event page.

We can do so much good while simply enjoying each other’s company set to some fantastic music by our friend, Chip McNeill and his jazz combo. Spending time with friends is always a good thing. Doing good work at the same time….well, that’s just a bonus.

No matter what your belief, everyone deserves a Christmas.

So bring a gift for someone who might otherwise not get one.

Thank you in advance,
-VRBC
“It’s good cheer.”
