NOTE FROM THE WEBMASTER - the public "submit event" feature on the calendar has been disabled for the last few weeks. Due to lack of response from the service's support team, I'm looking for another calendar service. I will let everybody know when they are able to submit events again. In the meantime, feel free to email your events directly to me at info@munciedowntown.com, and I will add them for you.
On a positive note, munciedowntown.com has been updated with a fresh new look! Please stop by to visit if you get the chance, and don't forget to support your local merchants.
Reminder for downtown merchants to attend the bimonthly Downtown Business Council members meeting this Wednesday, August 2, at 7:30 a.m. in the Star Press conference room. Coffee and breakfast snacks will be provided.
