First Friday Success!
We painted the Downtown Red with our first event of the season.
We loved every minute of the event. We hope you did too. Brenneman Lumber Company sponsored the event, and Katty Whomp Us took the main stage. There were 100 vehicles present for our Classic Car Cruise-In sponsored by Donley Ford-Lincoln. Food vendors included G&G Concessions, 8 Sisters, Whit's Frozen Custard and Athens Greek Restaurant. It was exciting to feature so many new exhibitors.
Join us June 5 on Main Street for First Friday! Featuring Kokosing River Surf Club brought to you by First Knox National Bank.
