The Weekly Goodness: July 24th, 2017
Turn that Monday frown upside down, it's goodness time 😜
The LiEv crew went and filmed last week's mayoral forum so y'all could be in the know. FYI, this was the last forum before the August 1st primary so if you're still unsure of who's running and what they stand for, give this a watch. You can also read Richard Porter's pieces on each of the 4 candidates here.
Who here wants to skip long lines at this year's Everett Food Truck Festival? *raises hand*
For $5 you (and all your friends, because eating alone is sad) can get in to the EFTF one hour early. But see, there's less than 200 tickets available, so get yours before we run out.
Plan on bringing the whole family along? Everyone's going to want something different, or try as much food truck deliciousness as possible. To help you choose which food truck deserves your hard earned cash, buy a VIP ticket (or two) for you and the fam so you can split samples amongst yourselves.
- Share 10 VIP exclusive small bites from the trucks of your choice
- Get in 1 hour early (11 AM instead of noon)
- Chill in a private air conditioned VIP lounge with free water and bathrooms
Don't want to pay for a VIP pass? Consider volunteering.
