Play Date Richmond, managed by Johnathan Mayo of AVAIL Marketing, brings Richmonders together in a diverse social setting for fun, networking and popular childhood games.
This perfect combination is one that I have found addictive as my
friends and I moved from table to table, meeting new people, and playing
all of our favorite childhood games.
People bombarded the stage to play the signature games such as Musical
Chairs, Red Light/Green Light, Simon Says, Twister and Name That Tune.
Greater Richmond Grid asked Felisha Jones (@ThatJonesGirl) to take us on a tour—or rather a date—at a recent Play Date™ at the Hat Factory:
“Endless childhood games, music, food, laughter, cocktails, competition, camaraderie, and the canal are what continue to lure me month after month to the new alternative to the typical nightlife in Richmond.
This perfect combination is one that I have found addictive as my friends and I moved from table to table, meeting new people, and playing all of our favorite childhood games.
People bombarded the stage to play the signature games such as Musical Chairs, Red Light/Green Light, Simon Says, Twister and Name That Tune. They even had the Wii station set up for us. Not only was the crowd diverse, but the atmosphere reminded me of a huge block party of friends, old and new.
As the warm weather hits, I look forward to sitting out by the canal, on the patio of The Hat Factory, enjoying an array of games such as UNO, Trouble, Pictionary, Taboo, Operation, Hungry Hungry Hippos, Connect Four, and Jenga...just to name a few.
@PlayDateRichVA is the ultimate tweet-up for nostalgic Richmonders who simply want to preserve their child-like nature among adults who can appreciate the importance of playing hard after working hard all week, while raising funds for local charitable organizations within the city. See you there!”
