Next at FATF: Norman Light (& Friends)!

Events

Welcoming back a Fridays at the Fountain favorite: Norman Light (& Friends)! Bring the whole family and head to Brooks Memorial Fountain for a live performance – July 15 at 7pm EST. Please bring your own chair or blanket.

Norman Light is a Marshall local that has performed at FATF previously with Chameleon and Rae of Light, but this will be a new vibe! With Norman Light & Friends the only thing guaranteed is that there’ll be a night of good music, with fantastic musicians. “Which” musicians is the question! Maybe a singer-friend will show up? Maybe a harmonica player will step-in? Maybe a keyboard player will play that solo you always loved? Playing songs that everyone knows from a wide range of genres, every show brings a different line-up that makes each show unique and memorable.

JOIN US FOR FATF JULY 15!

THANK YOU #FridaysAtTheFountain2022 partners!

YPC & BluFish: The Think Tank

Events

Ready to throw some ideas in the Think Tank? Round two of our new event series is coming up soon, so clear that calendar and bring your creative ideas and energy to Schuler’s Signature Room, July 12th, from 5:30pm to 7pm. Cash bar, light snacks, great company!

Powered by you, supported by BluFish, ignited by the Youngish Professionals! Join us for a new series, The Think Tank, and share your energy and ideas on how to continue to elevate all things Marshall. At each event, we’ll ask you to throw some ideas into the fish bowl on how to make Marshall THE small town in Michigan to live, work, and/or play. From there, we’ll start pulling them out, diving into discussion, and shedding some light on where we could and should focus our collective energy. Someone once said it takes a village, and we’re betting that smart individuals attended events like this!

Scheduled for 90 minutes, each event will kick-off with some time to mingle and meet new folks, transition into an oh-so-brief presentation of a topic or theme for consideration, and away we’ll go! It’s informal, it’s fun, it’s youngish Marshall at its finest.

BeYounigsh, #ThinkOutsideTheBowl, #ExperienceTheSchulerWay, and #ChooseMarshall.
