Beyond the Boots 2025:
Veteran Owned Business, Playa Bowls

Carrie and Josh Ayers have taken the values they learned during their combined 18 years of service in the U.S. Army and transformed them into a thriving business, owning six Playa Bowls franchises across New Hampshire. Their journey from military service to civilian entrepreneurship is a testament to hard work, discipline, and a commitment to excellence. Thank you for your service and your commitment to New Hampshire communities.

Come boogie to stylings of DJ Ken, enjoy specialty cocktails, and mingle with good company. Featuring amazing food and signature cocktails, all to fundraise for Veterans Count service members, veterans, and their families.

Join us at a gem of Manchester, the Bedford Event Center. During our Social Hour, we will be able enjoy a signature Tito’s cocktail, bid on silent auction items and continue sampling the food and amazing desserts. You will also have the opportunity to learn more about Veterans Count and help us honor some local veterans and veteran owned businesses. We will end the evening with dancing to some amazing music.
