FNO preview at Cusp
As Nancy told The Georgetown Dish, “It’s a night where we’re so fortunate as a neighborhood to showcase the best stars, which are our over 80 merchants … and more signing up every day.”
Each host committee member will be at a different location for special events planned by each participating business. New to the host committee this year, K Street Kate's Kate Michael said, “If I get any of my favorite stores, my bank account will be severely affected, but the objective of FNO will be met.”
