Sips in the City sees Main Street ‘thrive’
More than 350 visitors and residents crowded Main Street on Saturday for Butler Downtown’s first ‘Sips in the City’ event.
Organizer and Butler Downtown board member Mikayla Moretti said the event sold out almost a month ago.
“I believe we have over 350 people registered,” Moretti said. “So, it’s a good day for businesses to thrive, and especially our Main Street businesses.”
The event, she said, was all about showing off Butler’s many local businesses.
“The purpose of the event was to bring some new people to Main Street Butler, so . . . we paired vendors with local businesses and had them set up in their business shop,” Moretti said. “So, basically it was to get all of our participants in the doors of a bunch of Butler County businesses — we have over 15, and I believe the final number was 17.”
While 50 VIP tickets allowed attendees to join the fun an hour early, for most ticket-holders the event ran from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. starting at the Holly Pointe building.
