Today, April 13th, Akron Empire celebrated our 1st year of the blog at Thirsty Dog Brewery. A great big thank you to all the people that joined our party. It was meaningful for us to hold our party at the tasting room of Thirsty Dog because Brit's blog post about the brewery and the tour was one of our first posts last year.

| As more and more people arrived, we began to add tables surrounded by even more chairs! We're so lucky to have so many friends <3 |

| One awesome person, Karen Starr, even gave Brit and Joanna handmade cards for their successes. LOVE IT! Thanks Karen. |
In addition to food from Stray Dog Cart, we also enjoyed snacking on savory and sweet baked goods from DeVitis Fine Italian Foods bakery on Tallmadge Ave. Many thanks to Thirsty Dog and Stray Dog Cart for helping us celebrate.
We are looking forward to our second year and exploring more of Northeast Ohio's best and most interesting places and meeting even more people. We're always interested in adding more voices to the Empire and if you're interested in guest blogging, please email us your ideas: AkronEmpire [at] gmail dot com.
