'Twas a merry Thanksgiving đ
We hope you all had a yummy Thanksgiving! This year we want to say how thankful we are to be so accepted by the Reno community and business owners supporting Let It Glow, which we'll tell you all about in our post here. It has been overwhelming how much support we have received. When we started this journey we thought this would only be in MidTown this first year and we were hoping to get at least 10 businesses to sign up.
Well, Let It Glow quickly spread between the districts: Downtown, Riverwalk, Brewery and Wells Ave. At that point we were still hoping to get about 10 businesses per district... so say around 50 businesses. Well, Let It Glow starts TOMORROW and a whopping 110 businesses signed up! WOW! So thank you Reno, thank you for accepting our crazy idea and helping us make Reno Glow!
We usually tell you about last month, BUT...
You see, a lot happened last month, and above all else there was a lot of planning for this month and Let It Glow! So we're gonna skip over the recap this month and go straight into all things LET IT GLOW, RENO!!!!
