Mid-City Volleyball Group is planning another outrageous bicycle pub crawl in association with the Bayou Boogaloo. This is the seventh year of a Saturday morning pub crawl to get primed for the Bayou Boogaloo. It’s a joint fundraiser for Mid-City Volleyball Group and the MotherShip Foundation with a suggested donation of $20.00. You’ll have to buy your own drinks at most, but not all, stops, and you’ll get a little swag at one of the stops. Please sign up for this fun-filled event at their website so they can get an accurate head count: www.midcityvolleyball.org.
