Young Professionals Network to Host 3rd Annual Downtown Loft Tours

[October 22, 2015]   LINCOLN - The Young Professionals Network of Logan County is excited to announce the return of the ever popular Downtown Loft Towns which will take place on Saturday, October 24, 2015.

Guests will meet at By the Bean located at 113 s. Kickapoo St. at 3:00 p.m. for samples of their menu. The tour will begin at 3:30 p.m. sharp. The tour will end at Integrity Data for Guzzardo’s pizza. This event is adult focused and may be dangerous for young children due to the condition of some of the lofts.

Attendees will be led through downtown lofts and businesses to learn the not-so-well-known facts about each space. David Lanterman will act as tour guide again this year and with his vast knowledge, this is sure to be a great event. This experience is both entertaining and enriching. It gives attendees a fantastic opportunity to peer into the past of Lincoln’s historical downtown, uncovering secrets and unknowns around every corner and in every nook and cranny. The history of these spaces will come to life through actor portrayals in 1920’s and 30’s period attire. Guests will be greeted by ghosts of the city’s past. Guests should be dressed appropriately for the weather, we will be walking to all locations. We also ask that all participants wear closed toed shoes for safety.

The cost of this event is $20.00 per person or $30 per couple. The registration fee covers fall treats from By the Bean and Guzzardo’s pizza. A thank you to our sponsor: Christine Short, Edward Jones. Don’t miss this great event and chance to learn some history about the beautiful downtown buildings on October 24th.
