There is so much power in the word Friday, and all it implies. For people working Monday through Friday, it stands as a symbol of possibility, as the opening of a gate to two days of relaxation, spending time with family, home projects, or even the beginning of a vacation.

It's more than likely a certainty that even if you work over the weekends, Fridays are still okay with you.

That word and day deserve its own celebration and here in our town, that is exactly what happens on the first Friday of every month! This Friday, August 6 is the day and date of this month's Downtown Sioux Falls Eastbank Block Party and First Friday celebration.
