“Loaded Ladies”
Dias Festivos Marketplace 2007 will start with a bang on the evening
of
Thursday, November 29th.
At 5:30pm, the McAllen Chamber of Commerce will be cutting the
ribbon on our move to the McAllen Convention Center. At

the doors will open for our new event – a

The event, “Loaded Ladies” (come loaded with cash), will feature
true preview shopping, shopping contests, complimentary champagne
and strawberries, a cash martini bar, and live entertainment by the

Thursday through Sunday. Come have a blast!
