Jefferson Matters: Main Street Design Committee is sponsoring a Business After Hours event next week.

The program will be on historic maintenance of masonry with special guest speaker Mark Devilbliss of C & D Masonry in Rippey. Devilbliss has been involved in a number of projects in downtown Jefferson, including the Sierra Community Theatre, All Ability Cycles and Greene Bean Coffee. He is currently working with JMMS to renovate the building at 205 North Wilson Avenue.

The event will be at the Jefferson Elks’ Lodge with snacks and a cash bar at 5:15pm, followed by the program at 5:45pm. Downtown building owners are especially invited to attend.

It is free and open to the public.
