Speaker 1: a comfortable one.
0:29
Speaker 2: A nice three day weekend. It was lovely.
0:31
Speaker 1: Surprisingly, no activities from Dixon Chamber and Main Streets. Let's recap.
0:36
Speaker 1: Let's go back a little ways though. We did have
0:38
Speaker 1: a bit of big activity in August and that was
0:41
Speaker 1: the Venetian Night.
0:42
Speaker 2: We did Venesian Night. I'll tell you what you missed
0:46
Speaker 2: out if you were not down on the riverfront. So
0:49
Speaker 2: besides the whole European theme, and we had Dickson stage
0:53
Speaker 2: left there putting on some little mini shows. We had
0:56
Speaker 2: a roaming magician. I mean, just great things are happening.
1:00
Speaker 2: But we had a drone show at the end of
1:03
Speaker 2: the night. So we normally have had the fireworks. This
1:06
Speaker 2: year we had a drone show and it was amazing, amazing, amazing.
1:11
Speaker 2: So you missed out. But guess what, you guys can
1:13
Speaker 2: save the market on your calendar. We will be doing
1:16
Speaker 2: it at Venetia Night twenty twenty six. But it sure
1:18
Speaker 2: was a great event.
1:19
Speaker 1: And the weather was pretty good perfect.
1:22
Speaker 2: It was a great for weather. That's at least one
1:24
Speaker 2: of the events out of the summer. You know, as
1:26
Speaker 2: we recap, we know we had our Dison City Market.
1:29
Speaker 2: We had nine scheduled markets and we unfortunately had to
1:33
Speaker 2: cancel three of them due to the weather. So but
1:38
Speaker 2: I'm gonna jump a little bit, Steve, but you know what,
1:40
Speaker 2: we are having to pop up city market. So save
1:43
Speaker 2: the date for on Wednesday, September seventeenth, five to eight,
1:48
Speaker 2: the same things we've always done for our Dickson City
1:51
Speaker 2: Market right on the riverfront. We're gonna have fifty to
1:53
Speaker 2: sixty vendors there, live music. Bobby White will be providing
1:57
Speaker 2: that music that night. But come on down. It would
2:00
Speaker 2: be a great way to break up your week and
2:03
Speaker 2: see everybody back down on the riverfront for a city
2:05
Speaker 2: market time.
2:06
Speaker 1: Well, and this is just kind of a makeup, you know,
2:09
Speaker 1: city market for those that we missed, and we did,
2:12
Speaker 1: as Jennifer mentioned, missed a handful of city markets because
2:16
Speaker 1: of inclement weather across our area. So we're trying to
2:18
Speaker 1: make it up with this again. As the Jennifer mentioned,
2:21
Speaker 1: a pop up city market that'll be held in mid
2:24
Speaker 1: September at the Riverfront again, So one more opportunity and
2:28
Speaker 1: great entertainment, great vendors and great information down at the
2:31
Speaker 1: Dixon Riverfront on that September evening between five and eight,
2:35
Speaker 1: that'll be five eight, correct eight. And we wrapped up
2:38
Speaker 1: our Riverfront activities as far as yoga and the music
2:41
Speaker 1: at the Square.
2:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, music at the Square Friday nights. That was always
2:44
Speaker 2: a hit, great time to relax to start your weekend.
2:48
Speaker 2: And then we had our fitness Fridays. So the great
2:50
Speaker 2: thing about the fitness Fridays, well great about all of
2:53
Speaker 2: them is that they were free. And of course we
2:55
Speaker 2: cannot do this without our sponsorship, and just thank you
2:58
Speaker 2: to everybody who believes it in us, trust us, and
3:03
Speaker 2: we make things happen. But yeah, that River Fitness Friday. Actually,
3:08
Speaker 2: we partnered with rum I Studios, the YMCA as well
3:12
Speaker 2: as Great and Grace, So every week they provided a
3:15
Speaker 2: new fitness an opportunity for the community to check out,
3:19
Speaker 2: to do something new and free and hopefully you enjoyed
3:23
Speaker 2: it and now you're in the studios with doing it
