Second Friday in Downtown Mesa

 Jeff Naylor has been the owner of M-Troniks  at 41 W Main Street in Mesa for three years now. After we got married last year, I started working at the shop with him. The building we own is becoming quite the music complex. We are starting a remodel on the front of the building which will house an extensive collection of vintage guitars. The back of the building is operated by a luthier. In addition to making custom pickguards, he builds custom guitars right there in the shop. Naylor Entertainment also has its office in the building.

Considering we are located in historic downtown Mesa, we do what we can to get involved with our downtown community. One very slow to catch on event that we are helping to promote is 2nd Fridays in downtown Mesa. Compared to past 2nd Friday events, many more of the merchants in downtown have agreed to participate in the upcoming 2nd Fridays. And the organizing committee has grown significantly so a lot of great ideas are coming out of this hardworking group. They are even making progress on beer gardens for Oktoberfest, which is pretty much unheard of at a Mesa event! This month's event, Motorcycles on Main, is September 11 from 6pm - 10pm. Many of the downtown merchants and restaurants remain open during this time. We will be open and have a band playing at 41 W Main. Several of the other shops and restaurants downtown will also have entertainment. Free activities include photos for kids on a motorcycle and competitions for prizes. If you have a motorcycle, ride it and show it. If you're shopping for a bike come down and talk to the owners. 2nd Fridays are a great event for everyone! We hope to see you there!
