E T C OPENING EVENT

Ponder this: if a party to celebrate a store opening is held after the store opens, would it be called an opening party or an after party? When the party is as rockin as the ETC bash that took place this past Thursday night at Hirshleifers, I don’t think anyone cares.ac1_03831

A green display platform served as the stage for singer and recording artist Kim Sozzi, who rocked the crowd with her #1 Billboard dance single of 2009, Feel Your Love. DJ Razor spun, mixed and kept the beat. Both were on top of their game.
