The Big Three at Acropolis

[PARTY] As you are preparing for a weekend of 4th of July festivities—which may or may not include Sahlen’s hot dogs, beaches, bathing suits, sprinklers, ice cream, fireworks, sparklers and the many other items of the patriotic celebration—why not get started a little early? Do you have to go to work on Friday? No? Perfect. Yes? Well… maybe go in a little late because this evening’s pre-4th of July celebration at The Acropolis will be the perfect way to set the tone for the rest of your weekend. That is, if your tone is to really, really celebrate.
