Each month the 4th St Diner has a special day set aside to 
celebrate birthdays for that month.  It is always 
scheduled for the second Tuesday of each month.  Anyone 
having a birthday for that particular month is encouraged 
to make a reservation for themselves and any guests they 
would like to celebrate with.  The names of all birthday 
celebrants who have made a reservation for the Birthday 
Table are entered into the door prize drawing.  We 
currently have two door prizes scheduled for each month. 
 The first is $5 in Vinton Unlimited Value Dollars 
generously donated by Vinton Unlimited.  The second is a 
gift certificate for a free 4th Street Diner meal.
