Greensboro’s Got It
Highlighting 3 special events this week:
Summer Kid Movie Series
Golden Ticket Cinemas is showing $1 movies this summer. This week it’s Garfield. If you’re looking for a cheap way to get the kids out of the house and entertain them, this might be your easy button.
NC BodyArmor Games
Remember the sumo wrestling on Elm St a couple weeks ago? Well, this Saturday the state’s BodyArmor Games are back in GSO with arm wrestling, dock dogs, and roller derby competitions.
MUSEP FREE
The Greensboro Concert Band (100+ members) will take over LeBauer Park on Sunday evening for music outdoors. Imagine: free concert with Lawn Service and Parkside Pull Up right beside you. Doesn’t get much more Greensboro.
GCG Dinner Club: Lindley Park
50 of you already signed up for this Wednesday’s dinner club. Restaurants in this round include Bites + Pints, Freeman’s, Lindley Park Filing Station, Fishbones, and more.

Personal Update
Shared this on socials, but letting you know GCG is in a day by day holding pattern right now:
Really overwhelmed at all the messages of support from this community. May not have responded to you 1:1, but you’ve been very encouraging to say the least.
Will share more updates in time. 💚
