Dive Bar Bus Tour Spring 2023
The Young Leaders United Dive Bar Bus Tour is back for Spring 2023! We will be meeting at El Con Mall in the Northeast Parking lot behind The Home Depot. From there we will be taking a tour of some the local dive bars around town. This will be a fun night with lots of laughs and good times! The money raised from this event will go toward United Way’s work for Opportunity Youth in our community.
The Spring Bus Tour is sponsored by Corbett Brewing! We look forward to finishing our Bus Tour at their venue and supporting them!
