WHY ATTEND:

SCOTT'S PERSPECTIVE:
"We always talk about downtown events or entertainment, but we don't want to forget these events. If you want to be more involved in the community, this is perfect. I'm more of an introvert myself - this is as much dialogue with human beings as I have other than my wife and son. It's a great way for introverts or anyone to get out there and mix and mingle."
