SCHEA to host 4th Annual Black Friday Trolley Event and Little Black Dress Party
By TIFFANY REPECKI
Take a break from the holiday shopping on Friday and enjoy the festivities in the South Cape.
Hosted by the South Cape Hospitality and Entertainment Associations, the 4th Annual Black Friday Trolley Event and Little Black Dress Party will take place from 7 to 11 p.m. at 12 participating venues. Each location will serve up a $2.50 speciality drink, with the chance to win a TV, jewelry and more.
Tickets are $10 in advance or $15 the day of the event.
“Come down and discover the South Cape,” SCHEA Executive Director Donna Meola said.
Each attendee will receive a passport that they can get stamped at all of the venues. Completed passports are then turned in for a chance to win the grand prize – a 50-inch LED television.
“It’s a Sony,” she said. “It’s a good one.”
Women who wear a black dress for the event will have their passports marked. They will have an additional opportunity to win a white gold necklace from Zak’s Jewelry, valued at nearly $600.
“It is shaped like a sandal,” Meola said. “The straps on the sandal are little diamonds.”
Trivia games aboard the trolleys provide another shot at taking home goodies.
“On the trolleys themselves, there’s always a trolley hostess,” she said.
Trolley winnings include gift cards to participating locations, as well as T-shirts and such.
For the first time this year, Santa will be set up in front of the Dixie Roadhouse.
“We will be taking pictures with Santa – no charge,” Meola said.
“We’re close to the holidays and we thought it would be fun for people,” she added.
Among the venues, the $2.50 speciality drinks run the gamut. There are pumpkin martinis, peach sangria and blueberry lemonade, to a Black Mudslide, ShockTart, Silver Slipper and others.
Last year, more than 500 tickets were sold for the event.
“We’re on pace to sell about the same this year,” Meola said.
Advance tickets are available any of the venues and at the Chamber of Commerce of Cape Coral. They are also online at: www.eventbrite.com/ at “South Cape Black Friday & Little Black Dress Party.”
The day of the event, tickets will be available at BackStreets Sports Bar and online.
