We’re coming together to help people who live in the Columbia Gorge get to know each other! This is an event for all ages and demographics. We’ll start off with a welcome drink that’s included in the cost of entry, and then a quick introduction to the evening. Once that’s out of the way you’ll be able to mingle and meet new people! There’s plenty of seating and each table will have a conversation topic, (but don’t think you’re limited to that) you’re more than welcome to talk about anything and everything! We’ll try to have everyone move tables often enough that everyone sits at each (think speed dating but for friends!). About halfway through we’ll replace the “conversation topics” cards with various hobbies so you’ll have a chance to mingle with people who have similar interests as you before ending the evening. 6th st Station’s karaoke night will start at 8:00pm, so if you’re having a good time you’ll be able to keep the party going with your new friends! -Food is available for purchase from the venue -Only your 1st drink is included (Beer, Wine, Soda, single or double well drink) - This is an event meant to bring us together, anyone creating or adding to an unsafe environment will be asked to leave with no refund.
