SLIPPERY ROCK — A famous musician and former Slippery Rock University student doled out drinks for a good cause alongside Butler-famous officials Monday night.

Donnie Iris participated in a guest-bartending gig for the Feed My Sheep Food Cupboard in Slippery Rock, alongside Jondavid Longo, mayor of Slippery Rock, Jordan Grady, president of the Butler County Chamber of Commerce, and Ian Grady, basketball coach at SRU.

Iris said he attended SRU back in the 1960s, when it was still Slippery Rock State College.

“(Slippery Rock) has changed a lot since I’ve been here, but it’s a good place,” he said. “I think it’s great everyone came out for the food pantry. It’s a great cause.”
