September 3-9
News, events, and a MoCo ticket giveaway!
Hey Walla Walla,
On September 14th, Wild Rumours, a Fleetwod Mac cover band (swoon), is coming to The Motor Co.
And even cooler, the Motor Co has offered to give two free tickets away to a Hey Walla Walla subscriber!
So, um, make sure you are subscribed to this newsletter. And if you’d like more chances at winning, please forward this email to your friends. (Hopefully they’ll take you with them if they win!)
Next Monday, I’ll use a random number generator to pick a winner from the current subscribers.
