A Western-Themed Paint & Sip – Featuring Sgt. Issoufou Boubacar

Welcome y’all to A Western-Themed Paint & Sip event featuring Sgt. Issoufou Boubacar — a one-of-a-kind community gathering where creativity meets conversation, and leadership meets the people it serves.

🎨 Join us on Thursday, April 17, 2025 at 6:00 PM at the welcoming WESTSIDE BURGERS in Suffolk, VA, for an evening filled with painting, storytelling, and connection. Whether you're an experienced artist or just in it for the fun and fellowship, this event is for you.

🤠 The theme, “There’s a New Sheriff in Town,” represents more than just western flair—it’s about new energy, new leadership, and a new vision for public safety and community trust in Suffolk. Sgt. Boubacar, a 17-year law enforcement veteran and U.S. Army Reserve officer, brings both heart and experience to the conversation—and this is your chance to meet him face-to-face.

🖌️ Guided by Dirty Palette Parties, you’ll create your own western-inspired painting while hearing from Sgt. Boubacar about his journey, his commitment to Suffolk, and why he believes community engagement is the foundation of real change.

☕ Enjoy WESTSIDE BURGER’s full bar, specialty drinks, and snacks, mingle with fellow Suffolk neighbors, and take home a one-of-a-kind piece of art—and hopefully some inspiration too.
