I hope you’ve recovered from the power outage. I know the block with Panera Bread, Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, and Romano’s Pizzeria were out the longest – please go over and support them because they got hit hard and had to throw out a lot of product. They need the community to come together and help them by patronizing their shops.
The next First Friday event is this Friday! It will be the Sounds of Summer – show up in front of the library at 7:30 p.m. as a ‘FLASH MOB’ to sing the Star Spangled Banner!!! Musicians are being coordinated by Jared at Allegro Music (thanks Jerod!). Please come out – rain or shine! Thanks to Sheila Duda, TeaLula, and her Retail Committee for coordinating First Fridays!
