First-ever “Sip of Lansing” scheduled for this Friday

Lansing Women in Business, in partnership with Main Street Lansing, will be hosting the first-ever “A Sip of Lansing” event this Friday, October 9 from 4-7 p.m. Participants will walk downtown Lansing and sample a variety of adult and alcohol-free beverages, while they enjoy exclusive shopping discounts.

Participating businesses may provide beverage samples, such as wine, beer, cocktails, soda, lemonade, hot chocolate, iced tea or any beverage a local business may dream up. Businesses may also provide discounts or coupons for future purchases, drawings or giveaways. It is up to each individual business owner how they will showcase their goods and services and serve attendees.

A portion of the proceeds from the event will be used by the Lansing Women In Business organization to support local charities. Tickets may be purchased in advance or the day of the event, and are available at Coffee on the River, Red Geranium, the Good Life Gallery and Lansing Fitness Center.

Lansing Women In Business is an organization of women in the Lansing area who conduct business in the community and who are committed to giving back through community events and charitable donations.
