Sneak Peek Party for Greensboro's Summer Night Lights Program Scheduled for May 8

On Friday, May 8, the City will throw a "sneak peek" event for teens aged 13-18 to get a preview of this year's Summer Night Lights (SNL) program. The event will be held at the Greensboro Sportsplex at 2400 16th Street in Greensboro from 7pm - 11pm. Besides being an opportunity for teens to learn about summer programs and activities as well as volunteering opportunities, it will also be a fun party, with basketball, soccer, and a DJ.

The Summer Night Lights (SNL) program offers free activities and events at various locations in Greensboro for teens 13-18 years of age. It's a fun way to stay busy during the summer with lots of fun, social activities.

Fun Events for Saturday, April 11 in Greensboro

Spring has really started the social ball rolling here in Greensboro, with tons of fun events. Coming up tomorrow are three that I would like to recommend, in chronological order ( I know you can make all three of these!):

Potters of the Piedmont hosts the Pottery Festival at its new indoor location, the Leonard Recreation Center at 6324 Ballinger Road, Greensboro, NC 27410. This is in the Guilford College area, going toward the airport area. Admission and parking are absolutely free! The show will be held on Saturday, April 11th, for one day, so make sure to come out! It's from 10am to 4pm and will showcase the work of over 50 potters from North and South Carolina and Virginia. Visit www.pottersofthepiedmont.com for more information.

 
Next, you'll want to head to Lawndale Drive to visit Geeksboro Coffeehouse Cinema at 2134 Lawndale Drive, Greensboro, NC 27408 for their celebration of International Tabletop Gaming Day! This 12-hour gaming extravaganza runs from noon to midnight and will feature a hot dog lunch, A Magic: The Gathering card draft tournament, a Cards Against Humanity charity event, and loads of the best board games, including tournaments for two of the most popular games, Settlers of Catan and Ticket to Ride!
