YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO GLORY VALLEY’S YEARLY BLOCK PARTY - LOVER FEST !!
the script of the bubblegum pink flyer found in your mailbox is cute, loopy; perfect for the occasion - someone put a lot of time and effort into the presentation and aesthetics of the message that everyone around you seems to have also gotten in their mailbox this morning. it’s a party to celebrate the month, something to bring everyone together. just below is a list of sorts, describing the event taking place and just what will be happening ...
MAD BATTERS & HONEYBREWS COFFEE HOUSE will be partnering up for the weekend to provide all sorts of themed refreshments at a discounted price. from heart-shaped shortbread cookies and rose-and-lavender tea to selling handmade mugs themed for the holiday, the two shops have come together to provide something for all ages to enjoy throughout the event.
THE DAPPER OWL is also offering themed drinks at a discounted price, but these are for the older crowd - cocktails colored pink and red, some with glitter infused in them, some smelling of strawberries or watermelon. they’re as much a treat for the eyes as they are for the mouth, but that typical alcoholic sting still holds a sharp bite that will keep everyone on their toes.
MAXIMUM GAMES is coming in from sunset beach to provide the entertainment ! classic boardwalk games such as ring toss, balloon popping, water gun races, and even a few pinball machines, air hockey tables, and arcade cabinets have been rolled out to their area for everyone to enjoy for the classic price of twenty-five cents. tickets will be available for purchase for the booth games at hang loose. you’ll be able to find this section of the block if you listen for the throwback ballads of all the boy bands we grew up loving and swooning over.
THE REEL will be dedicating all of their screens to the romance genre this weekend. from modern rom-coms such as 30 going on 30 and 27 dresses to the classics such as casablanca and singin’ in the rain, couples and hopeless romantics alike will find something to spend their time watching for the first time, seeing again after years, or enjoying it as their favorite movie of all time.
ROSE PETAL NUSERY has put together something truly special that will bring back memories of elementary school - flower grams ! operating from their booth near their shop, you can send a single rose bloom or a bundle of three roses to the person of your choice for a reasonable price, keeping it anonymous or signing your name with it. there will be a ‘rose ceremony’ at the end of the weekend to pass them all out, the post office providing their hand in helping as well.
HANG LOOSE SOUVINERS has taken their normal beachwear and replaced it with pinks, whites, reds, and lots of sparkles. in town for the bash as well, you can grab anything from a cute bauble-headband to some adorable heart-shaped sunglasses for a good price. a sticker and small holiday-themed button comes with each purchase as well. they are also the hub for purchasing tickets for maximum games’ activities - twenty-five cents per ticket, with discounts on rolls.
POLARIS STARGAZING will offer anyone who is looking for something quieter and a little more intimate something to take part in. along with selling art prints of the night sky painted each night for couples to take home as a commemorative decoration, every night starting at 9pm they will be holding their special night under the stars on the edge of town - bring your blankets, pillows, and some hot chocolate from honeybrews to look on at the gorgeous night sky with friends, family, your significant other, or your crush.
the entire weekend will be hosted by town hall in close partnership with MIGHTY RIVER RADIO. the station will be providing the music and nightly entertainment, with a dancefloor set up right in front of the founder statue that changes colors - going from soft white to red to pink and back - once the sun goes down. their playlist will provide something for everyone, from slow jams to hold your loved one close to something everyone can jump around to all the way down to original works from members of the town.
