the street dance will
increase awareness of North-

the new street,” he said. “We
want people to get accustomed to
coming to Northgate. Northgate
has a lot to offer.”
Richard Benning, owner of
Duddley’s Draw and Fitzwilly’s,
said the celebration will be a
way to show off the work that
has been completed in the revi
talization project.
“Everyone can get an impres
sion of what Northgate is going
to be like,” he said. “We’re doing
this so the citizens of College
Station can see how the money
is being used.”
Northgate merchants said
they hope the street dance,
which was organized quickly
this month, will become an an
nual event.
Benning said that next year
the dance might be expanded to
include children’s games and
hay rides.
In order to comply with city
noise statutes, the celebration
will end at 11 p.m.
"We're doing this so the citi
zens of College Station can see
how the money is being used."
