We have a reason to celebrate next week. Tuesday marks four years since Hoopla’s first issue. To celebrate our fourth birthday, we’re having a party and you are invited.

We want to thank the many people who have helped make Hoopla a success and so we decided to throw a party.

Join us at Downtown Wrigley in Cedar Rapids from 5 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 18. (There is plenty of free parking at the nearby parking ramp.)

Prizes
