What we’re about
This group is for people that enjoy activities together while building friendships in or near locations primarily around the Metro East IL 618 area code. This includes Belleville, Fairview Heights, O’Fallon, Collinsville, Maryville, Grafton, Alton, Edwardsville, Highland, and more. However, we'll also have some events in the St Louis area. (That's the "beyond" part ;-).
There is so much to do and experience in our area - great places to eat, events and activities that are interesting, history related, and unique, as well as many outdoor opportunities. Please consider hosting an event or suggesting one. This group is about adventures and making friends - so easy to do with all this area offers.
