First Fridays kicked off in June in Park Ridge and it was a determined to be a successful event by the 32 merchants who participated - at least that was the feedback received at the First Fridays debriefing celebration at the Chamber's offices at 720 Garden Street.  TeaLula, Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, and All on the Road Catering provided the refreshments.

Sheila Duda, TeaLula, Chamber board member and Chair of the Park Ridge Chamber Retail Committee, led the discussion for constructive feedback and ways to improve the event.  Future themes were also agreed upon with 'Sounds of Summer' as the July 1 theme, and 'Dog Days of Summer' the August 5 theme.
