and Kay Kouvatsos of Village Café, she added.
As representatives of two very well known
restaurants on the key, they will ensure deli-
cious fare from a variety of restaurants for
the picnic.
Event sponsorship levels range from $5,000
and up (Grand Finale) down to $350 (Rockets
Red Glare), with various degrees of busi-
ness promotion offered according to the
amount paid.
People may register for sponsorships and VIP
packages by calling the Chamber at 349-3800,
emailing info@siestakeychamber.com or vis-
iting the Chamber website.
As it has since 2011, the Chamber also will
hold a raffle whose winner will be able to
start the fireworks, akin to Wile E. Coyote
detonating explosives in the beloved
Roadrunner cartoons.
The raffle ticket party has been scheduled
from 5 to 7 p.m. on Thursday, July 3, at South
Bridge Plaza — home to the New Balance
Store, Abel's Ice Cream and Stonewood Grill
& Tavern — just west of the intersection
of Stickney Point Road and U.S. 41 South.
Tickets are $5 each or five for $20.
People also may purchase VIP packages at
that event, Tomasso told me.
