Join hosts Party ‘N Things and BancorpSouth at Alive After Five, 5:30 to 7 p.m., on Thursday, May 20, at the new Party ‘N Things location, 3801 North St., Ste. 3, in Northview Plaza. Everyone is also invited to attend the ribbon cutting at 5:10 p.m.

“We’ll kick start summer with fajitas and margaritas,” Maury Littleton said. “Who knows how to throw a party better than a party store? We’re celebrating the new store opening, and we want everyone to come out, relax and enjoy the party.” Littleton is also well known for planning elaborate events such as SFA receptions and weddings.

Alive After Five is a casual, come-and-go, after-work event that gives every Chamber member a chance to meet and greet others in business – and pass out those business cards! Everyone attending has a chance to win great door prizes. All Chamber members are entered in the $550 cash drawing, but you must be present to win.
