Who wants to just grab a drink and speak to people? How boring!
No sir ... it's human nature that want to also be entertained (and if you did not just hear in you mind Russell Crowe in "Gladiator," I'm not sure we could be friends.)
Well, our local breweries have the answer!
Almost every brewery has at least one regularly scheduled trivia night, and I am here to say, that the crowds can get seriously competitive. So bring your A-game in seemingly useless knowledge, but you may want to leave your feelings at the door. In addition to the weekly trivia, the credit to some of the most creative and fun events has to be given to our local brewhouses. This past year, Golden Cactus Brewing hosted a Mrs. Roper's Romp (I highly encourage visiting their Facebook page to view the pictures) and a fun

Our CAT brainstormed ideas, worked with local organizations to understand nee...

Several months ago I had the opportunity to volunteer with Renovation Alliance and MKB, REALTORS on Community Renovation Day. We joined together to help provide some peace of mind to long standing residents of our community (the Grant family). Both members of the family were diagnosed with severe illnesses that had prevented them from making some of the necessary repairs to their home, and we were able to assist them during this difficult time.

I think we all should provide a helping hand wherever and whenever we can! In this case, being able to help in easing some of their worries and anxieties was especially meaningful to me because I know it's important to spend the time we have making memories...
