fray day four was the best yet!
This was a year of firsts for Fray Day. The first year we held it in more than one place (welcome Grand Rapids!). The first-ever marriage proposal at a Fray Day (congrats Aaron and Rebecca!). The first year we had a band in San Francisco (excellent work, Soapbox!). This year we had more people than ever (over 200 in San Francisco and 75 in Grand Rapids) and more interactive art projects than ever.
In short, it kicked ass. But don't take our word for it. Check out the links on the left for the first-person scoop. (If you've put some Fray Day memories online, let us know!)
Thank yous!
