Social Media Day a Sweet Get-Together

What better way to spend a warm Sunday afternoon than with your family at the NWItweetup ice cream social, held at Valpo Velvet Ice Cream parlor in downtown Valparaiso. The purpose of this social media get-together was to bring those who usually chat via social media together to chat in person.

Dave Woodson, one of the co-founders of the social media day group said, "This Social Media day is about bringing attention to social media, along with everything that’s online and what we are doing online. Along with that, It is always nice to get together and socialize once in a while."

Nat Finn, also co-producer of the social media day, was really pleased about the location for the get-together, "Valpo Velvet is such a historical place and such a huge part of Valparaiso's atmosphere. Also, it is cool to see how Valpo Velvet is finally open on Sundays now, which is very exciting. Valpo Velvet is also a perfect place for families to get together."

Cathy Brown shares with us her favorite part about today’s social media get together. "My favorite part of today is getting to talk with all the people who you normally interact with online and actually see them in person. I also love seeing the kids here; I love to make kids happy.”

The ice cream social group get-together was a fun filled evening for both parents and their children. This event was such a success because it gave time for people time to discuss the importance of social media in our lives today, but at the same time show us the importance of face to face interaction.
