FC2 February Fest
Brent Finnegan -- February 16th, 2008
I went to check out the Friendly City Food Co-Op‘s February Fest in the Cally’s/CST building earlier tonight, and spoke with two of the organizers about the event.
There were a lot of people there. There was no official headcount, but I estimate it was well over 500 (perhaps as many as 800 throughout the course of the evening). There were bands playing in Court Square Theater, as well as upstairs at Cally’s. People were still signing up to join when I left.
It looked like a big success. I spoke to several people who were signing up last night, so I’ll be interested to see the updated membership figures. If they have it again, they’ll need a bigger venue!
I sent my paperwork in today!! I can’t wait until it is open.
Their website has been updated to say:
47 families signed up to join, bringing membership to over 250!
About 20 others took information packets and are already returning them!
They also raised enough money through the silent auction and CST music to cover the expenses for the evening so they came out ahead.
