STEPH DEROSA: TACOMA'S FIRST NIGHT RULES >>>

As much as we love squeezing my ass into a silky chiffon evening gown and struttin’ my stuff on the red carpet for an awards ceremony, it didn’t happen. I wasn’t invited.

Something did come from the ceremony â€" Washington Festivals and Events Conference â€" last week. First Night Tacoma won not one but FOUR awards, two of which were gold! 

First Night Tacoma pulled these awards out of the sweat palms of WFEA:


The Weekly Volcano tips our top hats to you, First Night. We feel honored to have sponsored such a fine event. Kudos to director Bennett Thurmon and the First Night board of directors for a job well done.

I can’t help but wonder exactly how much our commemorative First Night souvenir button will go for on eBay.
