Art Walk
is thrilled to use this month’s event as a community fundraiser for the art
program at Elliott Point Elementary School! The school is located only a couple
miles from Downtown Fort Walton Beach. Elliott Point has a wonderful, volunteer
art teacher, but is in desperate need of supplies. There will be a number of
raffles and auctions happening throughout the night to help raise money for
their supply fund, and many of the Downtown FWB merchants will be donating a
percentage of their sales during Art Walk. Stop in Liz Fashions to buy raffle
tickets for a gift certificate worth $50. All proceeds will go toward the art
program. For more information, please find Downtown Fort Walton Beach Art Walk
on Facebook or visit DowntownFWB.com.Event/ArtWalk.
