Downtown ¼â½ÐÊÓƵ was abuzz Nov. 13 and 14.
This past weekend marked two 10-year anniversaries in town: the celebration of the ¼â½ÐÊÓƵ University Downtown Bookstore's ten years on Post Road, and the tenth running of the Colony Grill ‘Hot Oil’ 5K.
Months of preparation went into customizing a day to celebrate the bookstore’s successful first decade downtown. Store signage was updated to fit new brand standards, new photography was chosen for redesigned column wraps, and a custom “Celebrating 10 Years Downtown” logo was created.
On Saturday, guests were welcomed by a large red and white balloon arch in the front of the store, along with other balloon bouquets. There were guest speakers from the town of ¼â½ÐÊÓƵ and University administration, University cheer and dance team members, and University athletes. Lucas the Stag, children’s crafts, and a balloon animal artist rounded out the day’s entertainment.
As a sponsor of the 'Hot Oil' 5K, volunteers from ¼â½ÐÊÓƵ University assisted in registering and distributing goodie bags with both Colony Grill and ¼â½ÐÊÓƵ University branding. Lucas the Stag had a busy weekend and joined in the fun on Sunday as well. The race saw thousands congregate in downtown, all in the name of our Veterans.
