MudLOVE is hosting a block party at 5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 7. The party, titled “Block of Love 2013,” will feature food and drink from 1000 Park Bake Café and The Silver Tongue food truck. The evening will conclude with a free, live concert performed by the band “James and the Drifters.”

The purpose of the evening is to celebrate the intersection of MudLOVE and its customers stories. The event will offer interactive stations and booths where you can spend/earn tokens, share your favorite MudLOVE stories, repurpose an old T-shirt “MudLOVE style” and learn about the company’s work in Africa.

Guests are invited to bring unopened canned and/or dried foods to help Fellowship Missions stock their shelves for the hungry in our community. Tokens will be offered in exchange for the canned and/or packaged food attendees bring.

Come chill on the couches MudLOVE has set up outside and enjoy great music, coffee and food while you share the evening with friends. The event will be located in the Winona brick alley in The Village of Winona next to the store’s location at 804 G. Park Ave., Winona Lake.
