In Todayā€™s Spotlight

Todayā€™s Spotlight Sponsored By:

The Conshohocken Winter Market returns December 12-14 at the plaza at Hotel West & Main with 25 shops, live holiday music, seasonal treats, and holiday cocktails. Donā€™t miss the Philly Grinch, who will bring his antics to the market on Saturday at 1:00 p.m. Be sure to come back this weekend, as there is an almost completely new set of vendors.

Upper Merion Area Dinner Club?

Before we dive into this weekendā€™s events and happenings, I MUST get your feedback on a dinner club concept being raved about in other local communities. Itā€™s a meetup built around good food and making connections in the community, and Iā€™ve already started building it for the Upper Merion Area.

 Itā€™s very simple:

  • You sign up.

  • Take a short personality quiz.

  • You get sat at a table (for dinner) with the 5 most compatible guests.

  • Guest from ALL tables then converge at a local establishment afterwards for an after dinner gathering.

  • All details are handled for you and revealed the morning of. You just show up!

Let me know what you think!
