Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio:  The downtown Cuyahoga Falls businesses are excited to announce First Thursdays After Hours, which will be held from 6-9pm every first Thursday of the month starting in October.  In addition to having late night hours, participating shops, bars, and restaurants will offer a special treat, entertainment, or discount.

“We wanted to create an event that was driven by the local businesses and offered the community a chance to experience downtown outside of normal business hours. We want to cultivate opportunities for all people to experience downtown Cuyahoga Falls in new ways that would not be possible otherwise,” says Whitney Milligan, co-owner of Jean + Lou and the organizer of First Thursdays After Hours.  Abby Poeske, Executive Director of the Downtown Cuyahoga Falls Partnership, notes that this represents the collaborative nature of downtown’s business owners and the collective effort in the renaissance of downtown Cuyahoga Falls. 

This initiative kicks off on Thursday, October 3.  The community can look forward to live music, extended happy hours, special sales, and delicious snacks at participating businesses.  More information and the special offerings of each participating business can be found at www.downtowncf.com/firstthursdays or as a public event on Jean + Lou’s facebook page.
