There will be a chance to have some fun while enjoying the beauty of the Coosa River and aiding the cause of downtown Gadsden on Oct. 15.
Tickets are on sale for Downtown Gadsden Inc.’s annual Sunset Sips fundraiser, which is set for 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Memorial Bridge on Broad Street.
The bridge will be shut down to traffic and turned into a gathering spot where attendees can enjoy beer, wine and hors d’oeuvres.
And according to a news release from DGI, they’ll be able to further sate their appetites at downtown restaurants, which are planning to offer specials for Sunset Sips participants.
“… We encourage folks to continue the celebration with a wonderful evening meal,” DGI Director Kay Moore said.
