A YS-Opoly pre-launch party for the new customized game about the Village of Yellow Springs will take place on Sunday, June 2, from 2 to 4 p.m. at Antioch University Midwest. Attendees are encouraged to “Be The Board” by dressing up as their favorite aspect of the game. There will be food and festivities with an array of VIP guests including Young’s Jersey Cow Barnabe, the YS Schools Bulldog and several local musicians including Will C, Ryan Stinson and Warren Kearney (a.k.a. That Uke Guy). YS-Opoly games will be set up in the YSI multipurpose room to play.
Yellow Springs Brewery will then host an after party from 4 to 6 p.m. at their Millworks tap room, 305 N. Walnut St. with music by local buskers and Ringo’s North Star Mobile Eatery serving up stonehearth pizza, gourmet burgers and quesadillas.
