The New Albany Merchant Mixer will be this Thursday, Feb. 7, from 5:15 to about 6:30 in the upstairs room above the River City Winery. If you wish, you may buy a glass of wine downstairs and bring it up to the room. If anyone wants to bring a snack item to share, that would be great. We will talk about the Second Saturday Trolley Event and whatever is on people's minds.
Wondering what the Second Saturday Trolley is about? I received the following a few days ago. It seems aimed (correctly, in my view) at retail shop owners and not the food and drink segment. I know only what is written here. I've edited it slightly.
SECOND SATURDAYS SHOP & HOP
Connecting Down, Mid & Uptown New Albany
Starting February 9, 2013 ... 1 - 4 p.m.
There will be a trolley running from downtown to uptown; the trolley route will be determined as soon as we get a tally of participating merchants.

This is an invitation to all merchants that would like to be involved with this monthly event
Purpose:
• To increase traffic in our businesses
