Step In To Our Town Square
"People always want to know what they can do and I always tell them that everyone has some group of people that they can reach out to and speak to...and BigTent exemplifies that exact philosophy of having a town square–having a place in which you are willing to put forward ideas about what people can do and influence people one person at a time."
