There will be food and entertainment in Gulfport’s Art Village Courtyard on Sunday, March 11, from 4:30 to 7:00 pm, at an event hosted by LocalShops1.com. The event is free and open to the public, and will feature the finalists in our “Best Couple” contest. Everyone attending is invited to hear their stories and participate as contest judges.
The finalist couples are vying for an $8,000 wedding package created by eighteen LocalShops1.com merchant partners, including a custom designed tux and wedding gown by The House of Renee Originals. These independent businesses remind us that shopping local is important not only for our economy, but also for sustaining community character.
Local Shops 1Card holders can present their card to enjoy free delicious appetizers provided by Tea & Me and Yummy’s. Cards will be available for purchase at the event, or can be bought in advance at many LocalShops1 member locations throughout the Tampa Bay region. There will be music and special entertainment, and select wine and beer will be available.
