Village Nights At The Village
Naples, FL – Beat those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer and get down to The Village for an evening of cool, live entertainment, fun, and food. Join us August 5 from 6-9pm as Fuse performs a blend of tunes on stage adjacent to The Village fountain on the north side. Cloud 9, a duo playing popular hits, will be on the Village south side, next to Mondo Uomo; and Joe Marino’s Rockin’ Piano Show is next to Artichoke & Company.
Artichoke & Company and Villagio Café will be grilling out delicious food for purchase. Save the date and make it a Village Night with good times for the whole family.
It’s also that time of year to start thinking about Back-to-School days. Help the Education Foundation of Collier County by donating school supplies. Village restaurants including Cloyde’s, Village Pub, Mira Mare, and M Waterfront Grille have graciously agreed to be venues for donations. As a thank you for your donation, you will receive a complimentary glass of house wine at one of the participating restaurants—redeemable only on August 5.
Items most needed include: all grades and all sizes of solid polo shirts and walking shorts or pants, backpacks, athletic shoes, underwear and socks, pencils, crayons, and dry erase markers, 8 x 11 spiral subject notebooks, 1-3” binders and dividers, back/white composition notebooks, calculators, and lunch boxes.
The Foundation is also accepting cash contributions. Please make your check payable to The Education Foundation and mail to The Education Foundation, 3606 Enterprise Ave, Suite 150, Naples, Florida 34104. Visit educationforcollier.org for more information.
Summer specials are currently underway at many of The Village retailers, so Village Nights is also a great time for shopping.
