After 6 at Blue Mountain Village October 20, 2021
After waiting nearly two years for COVID-19 health guidelines to allow us to hold one again, our first post-pandemic After 6 at Blue Mountain Village was more than worth the wait. There was a huge turnout of wonderful people, delicious appetizers and drinks at Twist Kitchen and Cocktail, an open-air gondola ride to the top of Blue Mountain under a full moon, and a spectacular forest walk through the AGORA: Path of Light installation — what a night!!! It was amazing to be able to get together and have some fun again.
It’s just not possible to thank Twist and the Blue Mountain Village Association enough for their generosity in co-sponsoring this event with us; we are so lucky to live and work in such a supportive, collaborative community. And having now set the bar so high, we have our work cut out for us to make our next event even better — we can’t wait to see everyone again soon!
