“WePower Weekend” kicked off Friday with a posh garden party that bizblip was just in time to be too late to snag tickets to the sold out event! No worries, as Saturday and Sunday the community celebration expanded to Hyde Park on St. Louis’ North Side and we jumped at the opportunity to enjoy a live music (a brass band!), barbecue and a ton of demo booths displaying the amazing products and services of dozens of startups in the metro area.

“We’re celebrating being back outside together,” WePower’s CEO Charli Cooksey told bizblip. “To re-engage in important work for our babies, communities and futures.”
