With St. Louis becoming a fast-paced, constantly changing place, it is only right to thank the people who work so hard to better our communities. St. Louis Magazine, Cadillac, and Budweiser Select honored 15 local individuals between the ages of 18-35 at the Generation Now Launch Party, held at the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis.
Delicious snacks and desserts were provided by Three Sixty Rooftop Bar, The Restaurant at The Cheshire, Basso, Three Kings Public House, Local Harvest, and POPtions! - consisting of mouth-watering barbecue sandwiches, spicy smoked salmon, caramel cheddar popcorn, and pumpkin cheesecake. DJ Greasy pumped up the volume while the first game of the World Series featuring the St. Louis Cardinals and Boston Red Sox played in the background. Delicious Purus Vodka cocktails and ice-cold Budweiser Select were passed around as congratulatory drinks for the honorees of Generation Now.
