TNM Presents... is back!

During the 2009 Thursday Night Market season, several local groups had the opportunity to participate in this unique event series.  Because of their successes, we hope to make TNM Presents a monthly feature of the Thursday Night Market this season.

Would your organization benefit from exposure to 8,000-10,000 people?  Do you have an exciting idea or program you would like to share with the community?  If so, you are invited to submit a TNM Presents... program proposal for this year!  We are particularly interested in programs that demonstrate a collaboration between multiple local organizations or agencies with similar focus or theme.
