Livermore Vine’s 1st anniversary
In honor of LivermoreVine.com’s first year providing local news to the city of Livermore and the greater Tri-Valley region, the team behind the site is hosting a happy hour celebration.
The Livermore Vine journalists will be at Pennyweight Craft Brewing next Friday (Oct. 14) evening to connect with readers and raise a glass to a successful first year. They will also have appetizers and free promotional merchandise, or “swag”, to give away during the event.
“We’re looking forward to the opportunity to thank our supporters face-to-face for embracing us and trusting us to tell the important stories of the community,” said Livermore Vine editor Cierra Bailey.
Some of the highlights of Livermore Vine’s first year include being named the first-ever media sponsor for the Livermore Valley Chamber of Commerce and most recently, hosting public forums for the first time with candidates for mayor, City Council and school board ahead of the Nov. 8 general election.
“We are grateful for the tremendous outpouring of support for LivermoreVine.com and our staff,” said Publisher Gina Channell Wilcox. “We are proud of the work we’ve done in our first year, and look forward to continuing to provide unbiased, professional news coverage for the Livermore community for many years.”
The event is free and guests can drop by anytime between 5-7 p.m. Friday. Pennyweight Craft Brewing is located at 2455 Railroad Ave. in Livermore.
