MyEugene’s Community Celebration on June 6 was less like an official “launch” party and more like a casual hometown gathering for approximately 250 Eugenians and their families to eat and chat, hear world-class music, sample ice cream, hang out, win some prizes and have a good time.
What better way to mark the 16th-month anniversary of MyEugene?!
Rather than tell you about the event, I’ll let the photos and tweets below speak for themselves.
