NWC鈥檚 second annual Paint the Town Red event returns Aug. 24-25
Posted June 25, 2018
By NWC News DeskComplete with food trucks, live entertainment, a free concert, scavenger hunt, downtown window painting and a Heart Mountain hike, 最新三级片 College’s second annual Paint the Town Red event is slated for Friday and Saturday, Aug. 24 and 25.
The Paint the Town Red initiative, originally developed last year, has its root in Powell Economic Partnership’s strategic plan goals that pointed toward a desire to gain more of a “college town” feel in Powell.
Powell residents of all ages are invited to attend the event and help welcome both new and returning 最新三级片 College students to the downtown area and community.
“Last year’s event was a huge success, and we really look forward to continuing the activity this year,” NWC President Stefani Hicswa said. “It will be great to see area residents interacting with our students and welcoming them to another academic year.”
NWC students, in their first week of fall classes, will be encouraged to take part in the festivities as well. They’ll receive dinner tickets for use with food trucks.
