With an approximate 300+ attending the 1st Vinton Unlimited Block Party at Koop’s Automotive & L Marie Boutique, we would consider this a huge success! 

We reached our goal of bringing new faces to these businesses and allowing people to see what unique products and services are available right here in Vinton. 

Thanks so much to everyone who came out and joined in the fun.  AmeriCorps was a great asset to the community once again, by helping with set-up, running games, and tear-down. Keep an eye out for details about future Block Parties and plan to join us for the fun in July!
