It's about three weeks since loyal Streetsblog Chicago Readers came out of the woodwork to help us raise $50,000 to win a the $25,000 challenge grant from The Chicago Community Trust. As a thank-you to all of you who pitched in, we're holding a reader appreciation party this Wednesday evening at Revolution Brewing's Kedzie Avenue taproom (not to be confused with their Milwaukee Avenue brewpub).
All Streetsblog readers are cordially invited to this shindig, and those who have gave a Benjamin or more will receive a ticket for a free drink, courtesy of our friends at RevBrew. Here's the skinny:
Streetsblog Reader Appreciation Party
Wednesday, June 22, 6-9 p.m.
Revolution Brewing Kedzie Taproom
3340 N. Kedzie Avenue
We'll also have copies of my book “Bars Across America” and the anthology “On Bicycles” on hand for those of you who chipped in $100-plus or $200-plus, respectively.
Also, we'll be raffling off the many great prizes, donated by local bike businesses, to readers who contributed to the funding effort, later this week.
As always, thanks for reading and thanks for supporting Streetsblog Chicago. See you Wednesday at RevBrew!
