Calling all Blacksburg business owners and leaders!
Join us for a special morning meetup with Pete Macedo, local business owner and candidate for Mayor of Blacksburg.
This is your chance to connect with fellow business owners, share what’s working (and what’s not), and have an open conversation with Pete about how town policy can better support local businesses like yours.
📍 Hosted by Annie Kay’s
📅 Monday, July 22
🕖 7–9 AM
☕ Coffee and light refreshments provided
Whether you're downtown, home-based, on the edge of town, or just impacted by Blacksburg politics, you’re invited.
Let’s talk about the future of small businesses in Blacksburg.
Popsicles in the Park
Join us for Popsicles in the Park — a relaxed, open-air community gathering designed to spark real conversations and fresh ideas.
📍 Location: Nellies Cave Park
We’ll kick things off with a short welcome and intro to Pete’s campaign, followed by a few words from Pete himself about current town topics and why your input matters.
Then, we’ll move into a 20-minute group conversation where you’re invited to share ideas, ask questions, or raise issues you think deserve more attention.
After that? Stick around! The formal part wraps up around 5:30, but we’ll be hanging out for a while — chatting casually, answering questions, and enjoying popsicles with neighbors. Whether you stay for 30 minutes or the full two hours, your voice matters.
Bring your ideas, your concerns, and your appetite for community change (and cold treats). We can’t wait to see you there.
Let us know you're coming! (Optional, but helpful.)
