NEXT HOP: SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 2007


Grand Marshals Mayor Mallory, Bootsy Collins and Ickey Woods
DOWNTOWN HOPAROUND KICK OFF

FOUNTAIN SQUARE - Start at the Square and Go From There!
SEPTEMBER 29, 2007 - 6:00 - 8:00 pm

The Fourth Downtown HopAround wants you to join us. You are invited to party with a select number of community leaders on Saturday, September 29th from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. on the new Fountain Square - as we celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the Cincinnati Bengals and the life of Downtown Cincinnati.

Please join the celebration with Mayor Mark Mallory, Rock Star Bootsy Collins and former Bengal Ickey Woods on Fountain Square for the Launch Party for the HopAround. Then join other community leaders in fanning out to Downtown nightspots.

The Downtown Hop Around is a grass-roots, all-volunteer effort by people who love downtown – and the Downtown nightspots report that on the nights of the HopAround, you can feel the energy and the restaurants and nightspots experience increased business throughout the core area.

After the launch party on Fountain Square, you can serve as an Upstanding Ambassador and host friends and colleagues at your favorite restaurants or you can visit several nightspots as an Honorary HopArounder.

Thank you for supporting Downtown Cincinnati and the future of our entire region. We look forward to seeing you Sept. 29.

Sincerely,

Downtown HopAround Organizing Team
