Hello!
|
|
 We're excited to celebrate the opening of not one, but TWO new downtown businesses this week! Treat your taste buds to something new when Me & Billy Kitchen and Bar opens on Monday! Enjoy a wide variety of unique foods and drinks at this new local restaurant. On Saturday, Abernathy's Uncommon Clothing and Rebellious Accoutrements opens its doors for the first time at 11 a.m. You can stop by for their official ribbon cutting at 1 p.m on Monday, too. Support local business! Show your support for our veterans at the Annual Veterans Day Parade on Monday. The parade begins at 10 a.m. at the corner of 4th and Western, and the ceremonies will begin at 11 a.m. Afterward, make your way to the Adler Theatre for the Genesis Veterans Day Films Event. See two inspirational films and take an opportunity to hear from one of the filmmakers! All activities are FREE to military veterans. We'd like to also thank Riverboat Development Authority for being a sponsor of this great event.
 Relive the Woodstock glory days this weekend at the River Music Experience during Dress Up and Dance Woodstock Rock with music by The Beaker Brothers Band! Tonight, Mississippi Valley Blues Society presents a FREE performance from Grammy award-winning artist Terrance Simien! This zydeco musician, vocalist, and songwriter is sure to please any crowd. Back by popular demand, QC United presents the Annual International Food and Wine Experience tomorrow night. Three chefs will prepare three international foods while two wine enthusiasts will be there to pair your meal with fine international wine. Learn about German cookies, traditional baking, and other sweet treats from a woman who was featured on Martha Stewart! Join Connie from House on the Hill at the German American Heritage Center and participate in their Springerle Workshops Saturday or Sunday. Create your own paper molds or bake your own German cookies. On Sunday, check out images from the GAHC's Trip to Germany and the Travel Photo contest winners in their new photo exhibit. Make sure you head to The Ruby Slipper between November 8 and 23 for their coat sale! All coats are 25% off. With the winter weather right around the corner, now's the time to take advantage of this cozy deal! Be sure to peruse their assortment of winter boots while you're there, too.
River Roots Live partner, Living Lands & Waters' Founder & President, Chad Pregracke, was recently nominated as one of the Top 10 CNN Heroes of 2013. You can make a difference by voting for Chad Pregracke every day now through November 17. Vote at www.cnnheroes.com and pick Chad. We need all the votes we can get!
See you downtown!
