Also a thanks to our incredible staff who really took it up a notch, ensuring everyone had a (responsibly, of course) good time.
Finally, a big thanks to all of the local craft brewers who showed up to support us. This was as much a victory for small businesses as it was for food and drink. We hope you continue to support local artisans as they peddle their wares all around you.
Charlotte is a fertile ground for entrepreneurship. (Check out this months cover story in Charlotte Magazine, 'Start up City': www.charlottemagazine.com) For those that believe small businesses are the key to economic growth, please continue to support businesses like ours.
