The business community is invited to the Floyd Chamber’s June “Spring into Summer” Business After Hours Social hosted by chamber members Across-the-Way Productions, Floyd Rustic, and Rose of the Winds Travel, on Thursday, June 23rd from 5:30-7:30pm.
Floyd Rustic will be giving away a handcrafted piece of furniture (available for pick up at the event) and Rose of the Winds Travel will be giving away a Traveler’s Packet containing a journal, photo album and 20% discount on trip planning services. There will also be Across-the-Way Productions ticket giveaways at the event – guests attending can enter to win a ticket to Floyd Fandango Showdown Throwdown as well as a chance to win a 5-day ticket to FloydFest16~Dreamweavin’.
The event will be held in the Pink Floyd Beer and Wine Garden at the FloydFest site. Refreshments will be served. The FloydFest site is just off the Blue Ridge Parkway at Milepost 170.5, an easy 15-minute drive from the stoplight in Floyd.
“This social offers folks a unique opportunity to see the FloydFest and Floyd Fandango site in quieter, more relaxed setting than during these major events,” commented John McEnhill, Executive Director of the chamber. “Without the large crowds, this venue’s natural beauty is showcased even more and you can park onsite for easy access. This wonderful outdoor setting is a great way to celebrate the start of summer.”
