FUNCIE FRIDAY IS FLEXIBLE!

funcie-fridayWhy? Because we’re moving this Friday’s event to the White River Landing!  We’ll be on the patio if weather permits, and if not, we’ll be “flexible” and will stay in the cool, dry indoors.  Don’t worry . . . we’ll go to Amazing Joe’s soon . . . they’re building a great outdoor deck that will be perfect for an upcoming Funcie Friday!

Funcie Friday is a regular casual social mixer held at various locations around Muncie.

  • Full cash bar
  • Non-smoking location
  • Free appetizers!

On Friday, May 15, join MYPG at White River Landing, 117 W. Charles St., for FREE appetizers and a cash bar from 5:30-7:00. If you’re really hungry after a long day’s work, order dinner . . . perhaps the Hook, Line & Sinker or a Big Bird! After that, the night will be young and we’ll see where the evening takes us!
