From 4:00 to 10:00 PM at the DoubleTree by Hilton Philadelphia Airport, the Spring Fling Blind Vendors Showcase brings together some of Pennsylvania's most inventive blind and low-vision entrepreneurs under one roof. Expect hands-on demos, one-of-a-kind products, a live auction, raffle baskets, and the kind of energy that only comes from a room full of people who love what they do. And yes -- there's a free open bar from 5:00 to 7:00 PM. Adult tickets are $60 and include a full buffet dinner, the open bar, and two raffle tickets to boot. Kids 12 and under are welcome for $30. It's a proper night out with real purpose behind it: every dollar raised helps blind merchants across Pennsylvania build stronger businesses and bigger futures. Don't let this one slip by -- seats will fill up fast. Grab your tickets now at https://pablindmerchants.org/spring-fling/registration/. Questions? Reach PABM President Pam Baquero at 215-200-3696 or oneblindhippie at yahoo.com. See you there! Regards, David -- David B.
