Around the Corner Party

The preview of Around the Corner with John McGivern: Milwaukee’s West End, held January 10th, was a tremendous success! The Tripoli Shrine Center graciously hosted and over 600 attendees and received rave reviews.

Prior to the show, guests enjoyed food from Funky Fresh Spring Rolls, Troop Café, and the Valley Inn, and listened to the festive sounds of Mariachi Juvenil. The crowd took delight with fresh cold samples of the special Near West Side IPA. Guests were also offered tours of the beautiful building by Shrine members, and learned more about the neighborhood from the Historic Concordia Neighborhood and Historic Milwaukee.

Commemorative glasses were available to supporters of the Shriner Hospitals for Children and through the generosity of those in attendance, the Shriners raised funds to support the hospitals across the country. Many patrons also had the opportunity to meet and take pictures with the man himself, John McGivern.

Following the preview which you can see here, guests laughed their way through the episodes outtakes, and John McGivern and John Gurda answered questions from the audience. The event concluded with the raffle of a number of items, including a DVDs of the episode and gift certificates to the Manderley, Brumder, and Schuster Bed & Breakfasts. The event was a great opportunity to share what makes the Near West Side a great place to live, work, and play!

Thank you to Milwaukee Public Television, Tripoli Shrine Center Staff, and the many others that made the night a success.
