💘 FoCo’s Social Scene Just Got Interesting

whfc - 4.29.jpg

Happy Wednesday, FoCo fam,

Something’s brewing this week—and no, not just beer. If you’ve been saying you want to “get out more” or “meet new people,” this might be your sign. Keep reading… because this one could turn into your favorite night of the week.

What’s Happenin’ is growing — want to join us?

Last month our local newsletters across Boulder, Arvada, Fort Collins, Longmont, and Denver were opened 275,000+ times by locals looking for things to do and places to go.

As we continue to grow, I’m looking to add one or two people to help with partnerships with local businesses.

If you love supporting local businesses and want to help grow these newsletters, just reply to this email and tell me a little about yourself.

🕺 Singles Social at The Neighbor

🕺 Singles Social at The Neighbor

Alright, FoCo… this isn’t your typical awkward small-talk situation.

This Thursday, The Neighbor is turning into a full-on social playground—where meeting new people actually feels fun (and not like a job interview 😅).

Here’s what you’re walking into:

  • 🎶 DJ + Dance Floor — so yes, you’ll have something to do instead of just standing around

  • 💃 Dance Lesson Included — even if you’ve got two left feet, you’re covered

  • 🍴 Food Included — because mingling is easier when snacks are involved

  • 🎲 Games + Icebreakers — built-in ways to actually talk to people

📍 Where: The Neighbor (Downtown FoCo)
📅 When: Thursday, April 30
⏰ Time: 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM (doors at 5:30)
🎟️ Price: $40

Whether you’re:

  • Looking for a date

  • Expanding your friend group

  • Or just tired of the same group chat plans that never happen

…this is one of those low-pressure, high-vibes nights where anything could happen.

⚠️ Heads up: These events tend to sell out — so if you’re even slightly considering it, don’t wait too long.
