About this event

Turns out that, due to all the things happening in September *after* Labor Day Weekend, the only time that ended up working for our next happy hour at the Independence Beer Garden was *during* said weekend. Between that and First Friday, we could certainly be said to be having a staycation, no? :)

Last time, we found "our" table: It's near the wall on the southernmost side (the same side the restrooms are on :)), and it's one of the longer ones, so all of us (I counted eighteen) were able to fit. Nearby are the fire pits, and on the wall, in addition to those hanging wood decorations you can see in the photo, is a sign saying "First Federal Bank," or something to that effect. (I will aim to check and update if necessary.)

Once again, it would be great if people could keep their RSVPs current so that those of us able to be there on the happy hour's early end--it goes from 3:00-7:00 on Wednesdays through Sundays--can stake out enough space. No non-Meetup people tried to sit down at that long table we found last time, but you never know...

By the way, last time, there was no problem with our staying until we were ready to call it a day, which was long after the happy hour menu stopped being applicable. :)
