Celebrating #4

The Pgh Momtourage turned 4 this August!
My initial thought.....hey, let's throw a party!
Then........
And let's invite local small businesses to be a part of our event.
And let's see if we can get an amazing location.
And let's see if a Food Truck wants to come.
And let's get some amazing family entertainers.
And let's have a great night!
And so we did.
