- Saturday, April 10th from 2 pm – 5 pm there will be a drive-thru event at the parking lot between Salisbury and Hanks Streets (across from Postal Fish and City Tap and behind Circle City Books). There will be several stations: Art, History, etc. Chatham 250 plans on handing out 100-150 gift bags for the cars that drive through. Chatham 250 would like downtown to participate with swag.

- Add to the gift bags: questions? Maria Parker-Lewis or Mallory Peterson. Put a Birthday Party chachke with your business information on it so visitors can find you online or in-person.
