Dear –FNAME–,

Good afternoon! As Great American Downtown prepares for our first big event of 2018, the chocolate is starting to pile up here in Downtown Nashua! For the third year, we will host our Chocolate Stroll, which involves over a dozen downtown locations offering samples of various chocolates, wines, and other treats to visitors from Noon-5pm on February 10th.
Due to the expected high attendance for 2018, and our desire to ensure that everyone gets their fill of tasty bon bons and other goodies, this year attendees will require a ticket. Attendance will be limited to 500, and we are blown away bu the response from chocolate lovers throughout the area!

Within one day of announcing this event on our Facebook page, all 500 of these free tickets were scooped up! We do have a short waitlist now open for additional tickets should they become available. If you’d love to join us for the celebration of chocolate, romance, and a good Valentine’s Day themed stroll through Downtown – head over to our Eventbrite ticket page and sign up now. 

Have a great week!

-Paul
