Let your freak flag fly, get in costume, and come celebrate with our group
this Saturday, July 19th as we champion diversity and raise awareness and
donations for at risk-youth and My Friend's Place, a shelter in Kennewick
WA. The 2014 Power To The Geeks event is 3 hours of unadulterated bliss
featuring a crazy 2K costume walk and rally, a rock session at Howard Amon
Park with local band Tumble Down Badger, a delicious and free BBQ, and a
killer poetry slam and open mic hosted by Urban Poets Society. The event
is open to all ages and totally free! Costumes are of course encouraged,
but any attire will do. All donations will go directly to support My
Friend's Place.
The Power to the Geeks event will start with a 1-mile costume walk
commencing at 5:30PM (arrive at 5:00PM) at Adventures Underground (1391
George Washington Way, Richland, WA 99354). That's right, we'll be
sweating it out in costumes for a good cause--small sacrifice for the
greater good. We'll proudly march down George Washington Way to Howard
Amon Park (900 Amon Park Rd N, Richland, WA 99352) where the evening's
party, BBQ, concert, and poetry slam will be underway at the Fingernail
from 6:00PM-8:30PM.
