ONE FOR THE RECORD BOOKS: A GREAT PARTY
Hometown’s 6th Birthday Party was easily one of THE BEST and best attended events of our 6-year history! We couldn’t have asked for a better or more fun and supportive group of party-goers. Thanks for coming out to celebrate what you helped to create, Hometownies!! Check out some of the highlights below…
Above Left: Our lot was PACKED with cars, people, balloons, bicycles, and good times!
Above Right: The wheel toss game was a hit, and won many a Hometownie some bonus coupons!
Bottom Left: Ian and John of Double Play raised the roof and really turned this event into a P-A-R-T-Y!! Call Hometownie Ian 586-940-1492 to book his band for YOUR event.
Bottom Right: The fresh-grilled hot dogs were picnic-perfect, thanks to Mike’s mad grilling ‘skillz’ (center) and Rocco (left) and David’s (right) food table support!
With the season picking up, it’s time to bring in more help. We’re currently looking to fill the role of part-time cashier for evenings and weekends.
