Is this thing on?

Hey everyone!

First, I want to thank you for signing up for Winchester Wire. Chances are you saw the posts on reddit with the lists of events in the Winchester area or maybe you saw us on Instagram.

The goal of Winchester Wire is simple: a weekly email for the community that highlights weekly events, fun things to do and see, cool offers and much more. The sky’s the limit and there are a lot of ideas flying around in my head such as how to purchase the Triangle Diner and make it a place to meet-up and hang.

If you like this email, pass it on to a friend. If you don’t, send it to an enemy!
