Join us on Thursday, October 30 from 5:00 to 6:30pm on the Atkins Patio & Lawn for our last Fire at Five of the season! This monthly happy hour + bonfire is a great opportunity to network with other companies throughout the Research Park.
- The weather is cooling off, so we will be serving up warm chili with toppings, hot apple cider, a boo bar with monster mocktails (must be 21+ with valid ID to drink alcohol) and s’mores by the fire pit. We will also be giving out Halloween candy.
- This month, we are encouraging you to either wear a costume or bring your pups for a fun pet costume contest to benefit the Champaign County Humane Society ($1 donation for each vote with prizes going to the top three pups to be announced at 6:00).
- Enjoy music, face-painting by Libby Jo Art Studio, a pumpkin pinata game, and other festive arts & crafts.
- We will also have a special appearance from Lollipop, the University of Illinois Police Department’s Therapy K-9 Unit.
Picnic blankets are available on a first-come, first-serve basis; feel free to bring your own lawn chairs. This event is held May-October, and family & friends are welcome to attend; however, everyone must register individually except your spouse & children.
