Hey there fellow SIcoLabians!

As many of you already know from our last newsletter SIcoLab will be co-producing the Van Duzer Days Festival this August.
We are brainstorming about programming ideas for the festival and since part of the idea behind having this festival is to promote the businesses on the block we thought we would reach out to you guys out there and ask for some programming ideas focused on the businesses themselves. All ideas are welcomed. This festival can only be as great as we make it. Think big. Get creative.

Here are a list of the businesses:
- Corner shop (old psychic place)
- Glass shop
- Vida Restaurant
- Task Center (they aren't open on Saturdays BUT the storefront could be used to hang something like canvas over...think about it)
- Ira's Curiosity Shop
- Bent Pages Book Store
- Mood Swings Vintage Shop
- Baptist Church corner park

- Silas's place & yard
- The Cup (including The Alley)
- old Richmond Hood
- Community Health Action

- Martini Red
- Dance Explosion

This is a great opportunity to really showcase everyone and everything going on in the neighborhood. We need to make the most of it. Let's show everyone why we love this place and why they should too.

There is no time like the present. Get those brain juices flowing and send those ideas over to info@sicolab.org.

Next SIcoLab meeting will be Tuesday June 2 @ 9pm @ Martini Red, see you when the bell tolls. . .
