Friday, August 11th
5:30-8 p.m.
This family-friendly event invites folks to get out and visit participating businesses during the notoriously slower months of summer. It is designed to spark activity and interest in our local establishments and provides a perfect opportunity for retailers and restaurants to extend some customer appreciation. Many locations will be providing music, face painting, raffles, and other entertainment. Summer sales and specials will also be available at most locations and event-goers will be able to savor deliciously grilled nibbles as they stroll from business to business.
Speaking of food - we can't forget to mention the "pineapple palooza". What would a summer time event be without this perfectly refreshing fru
it?! Businesses are encouraged to incorporate pineapple into their treats and drinks, and it doesn't stop there ... participants can carve pineapple into unique sculptures, too! It's a fun way for businesses to get creative with their offerings. There will be savory pineapple salsas, sweet pineapple beverages and desserts, and beautiful pineapple creations for everyone to enjoy.
A map of participating businesses will be available the day of the event. For more info., call 772-589-5969.
