February PWAP: Mill Rats!!

FUSION‘s monthly shin-dig is happening a bit early this month.  Usually found on the 4th Friday, this time around the event is set for Friday, February 18th.  It is a new venue for FUSION, Scores on Princess St., which is fitting for the purpose of the month: The Saint John Mill Rats!

For all you sports fans and/or proud Saint Johners who are curious to meet these new “hometown” athletes, the event will be a low-key mixer that gets you up close to the towering basketball players.

So join me, and others, in welcoming the guys on Friday from 5:30-7pm at Scores!
