Let's All Have a
Taste of Mt. Lookout Square
Summer Event in Planning Stages

Since Light Up Mt. Lookout Square was a great success, why not host another outdoor event when it’s nice and sunny out? Mt. Lookout Square is known for its unique and diverse dining; let's showcase it. Imagine the sounds of a band playing paired with the smells of summer air and Mt. Lookout's signature foods.

It's a great way to showcase our diverse range of award-winning food, bring new customers to the square, and generate foot traffic for all businesses.

A few ideas so far include:
   •  Balloons
   •  Bands/musicians
   •  Carriage rides
   •  Festival characters
   •  Sidewalk art by local artists

If you are interested, please attend the Restaurant Meeting this Thursday or contact Rachel at 321-0677 or rachel@bluewhitespace.com.
