The Windsor Essex Care for Kids Foundation and the Windsor Spitfires Foundation have teamed up to bring Nashville to Windsor! On Friday August 16 th the two locally focused charities will host the Annual Black Tie Tailgate fundraiser, with Nashville country music star Jake Maurer as the headliner at Beach Grove Golf & Country Club.
