StreetScape drew slightly over 300 folks last year. Let's get to 350+. Tell a friend.

This is a great way to "get your hands dirty" for the city while meeting new folks. Even I meet new people each year. Catered breakfast and lunch will be provided. If you know someone who is even the slightest bit interested in doing something for the city, have them attend this event. It's a good time, a really good cause, and a really great way to meet some new folks and experience downtown Youngstown proper in all its glory.
