Strandz celebrates on Friday: “The owners are celebrating the business’ anniversary from 4:30 to 7 p.m. Friday with an open house that will feature door prizes, drinks, appetizers and a trivia contest with a prize of a $250 gift card.”
I’m not sure I can make it, but congratulations and best wishes from the 1117 East Spring Street Neighborhood Association.
