First Friday!

What are you doing Friday evening? Have you been to a first Friday in historical downtown Milton? This Friday, July 1st you can take part in the festivities from 5 p.m. until 8 p.m. There will be lots to see and do! Check out the different vendors and crafters. There will be artists and even a car club! I’ve also seen in the past that the Emerald Coast Roller Derby Girls have been there, so if you know of a woman thats been wanting to join a roller derby – here’s her chance! First Friday’s occur literally the first Friday of each month. If you’re interested in becoming a vendor or if you’d just like to read more about it, you can visit the Main Street Milton website. Their website is full if great news and you can even become a fan on Facebook or sign up for their mailing list.
Happy Thursday and maybe we’ll see you downtown tomorrow night!

Welcome!

And so it begins! When a couple of us got together for dinner one evening and began talking about the neighborhood and how to bring everyone closer, it was suggested that I create a blog and a Facebook page to help keep everyone informed. We thought it would be a great idea to have a place to share activities such as cookouts, yard sales, ideas anyone may have, or just have a helpful way of getting to know one another.  Since most of us work during the day, and it seems our lives become more and more busy as time goes on, it has become increasingly difficult to meet everyone and truly get to know our neighbors. Our hope is that by creating an easily accessible on-line community, we will all have a chance to learn about each other, and generally feel a little more connected to our community.  Since this blog is so brand new, please be patient with us as we get the hang of it, and if you have any suggestions, please let me know. Also, if you’d like to write a blog article, or have any news you’d like to share, feel free! You can email me the scoop, and we’ll get it posted. I’m looking forward to meeting some of you for the first time, and looking forward to getting to know some of you a little bit better.  I’m in the process of creating our Facebook page, so look for a link to that coming soon!
