Norcross Email Extravaganza Vol. 241
A weekly email for the young & forever young in Historic Norcross
DID YOU KNOW...?
Social Fox is celebrating THREE YEARS of business this weekend! To kick things off, Skin Alley will be closed from 12-5p for a giant block party. There will be two food vendors (HD Prep / Smokin’ Low BBQ), a beer tent, 7+ vendor tents, face painting (2-4p), cornhole, giant Jenga, and axe throwing (2-5p).
The party will transition into a Kentucky Derby theme at 5p! (Dress to impress!) They will have a photo area with roses and the race on the big screen, followed by live music with Austin C. Bolen! See you there!
