Are you looking for a way to celebrate the end of summer, or the beginning of fall, or the start of the school year? Maybe you’re just looking for a reason to celebrate.
That was sort of the mindset of the folks at TechTown, a technology and entrepreneurial learning center on Broad Street that offers after-school and summer programs for people ages 7-17 of all socioeconomic and skill levels. The students who attend get hands-on experience and hear from guest instructors on everything from setting goals to computer programming.
They also were looking for a way to raise money for the programs, and a Mardi Gras-style block party with Cajun food and good live music seemed like the perfect fit. The event will include a VIP experience, called the TechTown Party on the Patio, and a more casual party open to the general public, dubbed the TechTown Party on Broad.
Both offer access to the live-music block party on Broad Street featuring Cowboy Mouth and Cupid.
The VIP ticket adds an inside TechTown party with tables and chairs and food from restaurants such as Easy Bistro, Main Street Meats, Bluewater Grille and Hennen’s. Also, the chefs in training at Virginia College will prepare their own “Bayou magic” items.
