Attendees at The Ticker's monthly after-work happy hour will enjoy socializing and delicious appetizers from The Towne Plaza, including lemon-marinated shrimp, smoked salmon tart, roasted pork shoulder in pastry, stuffed grape leaves, charcuterie board, and assorted cookies. Tasty beverages will be provided by BOS Wine - including Methode Agricole (sparkling), Wishflower White Blend, and Moon BOS Red - plus brews from Rare Bird Brewpub including an IPA and La Alemanana (Oktoberfest offering). Attendees will also be entered into a door drawing to win great prizes, including two RTIC coolers each filled with local merch and gift cards!
