Forklift First Friday
August 2, 2019 | 6 – 8 pm
Join us at the warehouse on August 2nd for a cool Friday event to kick off your weekend!
On the first Friday of May through October, we stay open late and bring you live music, local art, funky food trucks, a mystery sale, and a pop-up bar. This is the real “Forklift After Dark” experience!

Featuring:
The Vico Cycle is a group of like-minded musicians based in the Washington, DC metro area who have come together to blend rock, funk, soul, blues, and hip-hop into a lively fusion of raw sound. They’ve played several times here at the ‘Lift, and we’ve learned to expect the unexpected!

The continuing adventures of
Leaky & Stumpy
Forced to labor on, Leaky and Stumpy are struggling in the summer heat! There is no light at the end of the warehouse for these two, and retirement still seems a distant dream! Warehouse life is hard on their rusty old parts. Our facilities manager, Keith Harper, strictly enforces their rehabilitation schedules, and won’t let them even dream of a spa day. Just the other day, he had to take Leaky to the chiropractor to straighten out his tines after a really heavy load of bricks.

Thanks to our generous donors, Community Forklift’s vehicle donation program is off to the races. Not so much the search for one good forklift to replace Leaky and Stumpy, who were ready to retire years ago. Forklifts are expensive and hard to come by used, so we need your help to crowdsource a newer, more reliable, less leaky, forklift.
