Local beer, smiles, friends, bikes, and a little politics — what’s not to like?

Thanks to everyone who showed up to the Social Hour last Friday night. It was great to welcome not one, but two City Council candidates into the fray.

For those of you that didn’t make it, you missed a chance to meet two potential City Commissioners in Jim Middaugh and Chris Smith, and a brewery full of your fantastic fellow readers.

Thanks also to Roots Brewing for putting up with us.

I think we should keep the election theme going. Who should we invite for next time?
