Downtown Weekend Lineup!/Sample E-Letter

[Defend Youngstown]

Here is a sample of what e-letters will look like. Instead of a lists of event, I'd like to outline a "here's what to do" on a given night in downtown so that folks who might not be familar the downtown have a nice plan for an evening. This works for folks who are familar with downtown as well. We'll adjust as needed but this is the idea. Also, be sure to email at events@cityofyoungstownoh.com to be added!
