“First Friday Tailgating Party”
June 23, 2004

MainStreet Greenville’s First Friday is catching on and the church family of First Presbyterian on Fourth Street is planning to share that experience with other Darke Countians! Free parking and Ice Cream to go with all the “fixins” will be available outside the church to welcome all those who are enjoying the resurgence of downtown on Friday, July 11 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

Just a short hop and a skip east of Broadway on Fourth, the Presbyterians wanted to enter into the spirit of First Friday with food that could be carried along and could even be eaten while watching the outdoor movie “Frozen” at the Theatre on Third Street.

Some of the older congregation members remember when such things were available when they were young and Greenville was known as a Saturday night town. Men sitting around the Courthouse wall with their children, exchanging gossip while their wives did the shopping, was a real treat for those children since a popular popcorn vendor sold great popcorn on that corner.

MainStreet Greenville is reviving that tradition on Friday nights and giving our community an opportunity to experience just how beautiful and friendly our downtown really is. First Presbyterian Church invites you to be part of that experience. Park your car or just drop by and pick up some ice cream with your favorite toppings, Friday evening, July 11.
