Thanks to an outpouring of support, Russ’ Tavern owners Tommy and Justine Russell and their son, Evan, presented a donation Thursday to Belle Vernon American Legion Post 659 to help out in a time of need. The $2,600 check is from a musical benefit the family-owned Belle Vernon tavern hosted March 29. It featured live music from Brandon Payne (thatpaynefulmusic), Gimic Acoustic Duo (Cj Swaney and Ron Zaladonis), Keith Wilson, Joey Forman and Jaki Barclay.
