Dear Do Downtown,

Please see this updated web page for further info on the September 29th, 2007, Downtown HopAround - www.DowntownHopAround.com.  We are so pleased to have MAYOR MARK MALLORY, Rock Star BOOTSY COLLINS and former Bengal ICKEY WOODS as Grand Marshals for this HopAround.  Join them and other community leaders as we celebrate the 40^th Anniversary of the Cincinnati Bengals on Fountain Square from 6:00 – 8:00 pm, where you will be treated to music by the Addisons, and if you were at the kickoff at Sully’s in April, you know how good they are!

After you click on the website, check out the people tab to see who’s hopping and who’s an ambassador and what restaurants and/or nightspots where they will be stationed.  Then check the entertainment, parking and all the other sections to give you options on parking and entertainment. 

This time the Downtown HopAround Team & Friends are sponsoring two trolleys to take you to the various venues FREE from 8:00 pm to 1:00 am.  Under sponsors, you will find the names of the people who contributed to the trolleys, and the transportation section has the map that shows the route and where you can hop on the trolleys.  Just hop on at any bus stop that is marked

“Downtown HopAround, - Midpoint Music Festival - HOP STOP - Free Trolley Rides – Hop On”. 

If you're an Honorary HopArounder or an Upstanding Ambassador, we hope you've rounded up your family, friends and co-workers to go hopping with you.  We're counting on you to help make the Downtown HopAround an uproarious success.  In addition, we ask you to please forward the website to everyone you know and encourage them to join you Downtown on September 29.  

Thanks for all your help and we'll see you HOPPING in Downtown Cincinnati on Saturday, September 29!  And, continue to check out www.DowntownHopAround.com for any changes that may be added. 

The HopAround Organizing Team: Mary Armor, Pat Barry, Dennis Speigel and Ran Mullins - And Special Thanks to Van Ackerman.
