The YoTown Scoop started with a simple idea: there's always something great happening around here, it's just scattered across a hundred Facebook pages.
So every week we do the digging for you. We gather the events, check the details and put it all in one friendly, easy to skim email that lands Thursday morning, right when you start making weekend plans.
