Sips on the Bricks: Summer Edition 2024

Have some fun in the sun at the Northwest Arkansas Emerging Leaders 2024 Sips on the Bricks Summer Edition event on July 13, 2024.

What's happening: Sips on the Bricks is a pub crawl, poker run, costume contest, and shop local extravaganza in Downtown Rogers.

• Downtown merchants will offer specials and deals exclusively available to our sippers. Collectible sticker included!
• Sippers will receive swag, and a poker run card that they can complete as they visit the poker stops.
• At the end of the night, everyone will gather for the After Party where we will announce the winners of the poker run and costume contest.

Contests:

• BEST SIP: Downtown merchants will compete in a holiday drink contest, crafting creative sips for "sippers" to taste and vote on their favorites. The merchant who wins best “sip” gets year-long bragging rights and a traveling trophy.
• COSTUME CONTEST: We love red, white & blue on Y-O-U! Restaurants and shops will offer specials and deals exclusively available to our event participants. Sippers will receive swag, a voting card to track their favorite sips, and a poker run card that they can complete as they visit the poker stops. At the end of the night, everyone will gather for the After Party where we will announce the winners of the best sip, the poker run, and the costume contest.

Why it matters: One of the strategic goals for the Chamber is to create third space experiences that help to redefine downtown as a destination. The third space concept divides life into three main places where we spend our time.

• The first space is home, second is work and the third is our community.
• Whether that third space experiences are biking on trails, enjoying a park, or participating in a fun event like this, having strong and vibrant third spaces is a key component of community involvement and creates a sense of place for residents and visitors.
• A strong third spaces increase quality of life, improves work/life balance, and helps businesses recruit and retain talent.
