1 Million Cups: Portage Paddle Sports and Real People Media

July’s 1 Million Cups took place at the Portage Lake District Library. There were two presentations: Brendan Jacques from Portage Paddle Sports and Rebecca Glotfelty from Real People Media.

Portage Paddle Sports is located at Hancock Beach. They have kayaks and paddle boards available for rent starting at only $10, along with paddle boats and float tubes. They also serve Jilbert’s ice cream daily! Check them out on Facebook and Instagram or stop by to paddle the Portage! Portage Paddle Sports is open from 12-8pm every day.

Real People Media is a nonprofit organization that helps people share their stories through literary, visual, performing, and media arts. They produce an old-time radio variety show, Red Jacket Jamboree, which is performed at the Calumet Theatre. “Like” them on Facebook and check out their website.

Recurring each month, two entrepreneurs are invited to pitch their ideas and receive feedback from the community. Each presenter has 6-7 minutes to pitch, followed by a 15-20 Q&A session. For more information, watch last month’s presentations on Annikakes and NECi.

SAVE THE DATE- The August 1MC event will be held on August 8th, 9am. Location will be announced ASAP. Look out for more information!
