The 2nd Annual Lakeview East Dive Bar Classic concluded on Sunday, March 1st! We had over 1500 attendees come out and support our local dive bars during this three week long event. Thank you so much to all who participated, and for submitting your fun photos!
An email was sent to all the 2026 Lakeview East Dive Bar Classic participants who qualify for the t-shirt on March 4th. The email was titled “Lakeview East Dive Bar Classic 2026 T-Shirt Pick Up“. The people who paid the $10 registration fee, and uploaded the photos correctly, all got the email sent to them. If you did not get this confirmation email, and feel you submitted photos and registered correctly, please email Isabelle@lakevieweast.com. A common issue that has been occurring, is people submitted photos and registered for the event under different emails, after being warned to use the same email multiple times. If you feel like this happened to you, email Isabelle@lakevieweast.com.

Building Your Social Media Strategy & Your Personal Brand to Build Your Business
March 13th 2026, 9:30 am to 11 am
Every small business owner knows they should be on social media to grow their business, but most struggle to actually do it consistently. The problem isn't knowing what to post - it's overcoming the paralysis, perfectionism, and cringe factor that keeps you from starting. Liz Short, founder of Short Solutions and creator of the "Get Social Done" methodology, will share the execution framework she uses with clients to go from social media paralysis to consistent action. You'll learn why consistency matters more than quantity, how to create content that's authentically you (not just another template), and how to push through the inevitable awkwardness. Leave with a practical action plan, content strategy framework, and permission to be imperfect while you build your personal brand and your business.
