2010 Martini Night
The Black and White Martini Night is back! Dixon Main Street is again hosting a very special evening to recognize the hard working volunteers that make Main Street what it is today!
On Saturday, February 20th, 2010 the Black and White Martini Night Volunteer Recognition Evening will be held at the Post House, and will again embrace the signature cocktail for the evening The Cosmopolitan! Along with evening cocktails, heavy hors d’ oeuvres will be served and items from our local Main Street and Dixon businesses will be auctioned off. As part of the evening festivities, we wholeheartedly cheer for those attending to wear black and white.
The Black and White Martini Night will be taking a different direction this year for entertainment. Instead of the usual humdrum, we have invited a hypnotist. Any partaking with the hypnotist is voluntary, but volunteers are always welcome!
Our classy event will begin at 6pm with warm hors d’ oeuvres and chilled cocktails, then onto the Main Street Volunteer Recognition Awards at 7pm. After the awards, the entertainment and auction will ensue to complete the evening.
Dixon Main Street’s auction will include the Headline Sponsorship Spot for the Annual Dixon Main Street Golf Outing which will happen this coming June. Nevertheless, please do not be discourage if golf is not your cup of tea, for we also will be auctioning off desserts, donated items from Dixon business, and drink trays. For one table of lucky winners, a donated tray of some infamous Bloody Marys are to be auctioned off and can be yours if the price is right!
Ticket prices have been set at $35 per person or $250 per corporate table of 8. Space is limited to 160 people / 20 tables. Pre-selling of tickets has already begun. Please contact the Dixon Main Street office to secure your spot at what is rumored to be the must attend event this spring. For more information, call 815-288-2308.
