    We have some exciting events coming up this month with the Punta Gorda Chamber of Commerce.

    The fun continues with our Third Thursday Poker Walk, monthly Cash Mob, and we will have a Political Hob Nob this month. These events are open to the public.

    POKER WALK

    If you haven’t heard of our Poker Walks yet, come out on July 18 from 4-7 p.m. The participating businesses this month are UnWined, Pomegranate & Fig, Illusions Salon & Spa, Hypnotique, Leroy’s, Punta Gorda Chocolate & Wine, and J Meraki Beauty Emporium. Becky’s Garden Shoppe will be the wild card location.

    The final destination will be at the Winesett House where you turn in your scorecard for a chance to win the poker game. Be sure to turn them in by 7:30 p.m. Winners will be announced at 7:45 p.m. The winner will receive a gift card from the participating businesses. There will also be a second and third prize.

    The featured charity for July is Peace River Wildlife Center. There will be an opportunity to see an ambassador animal at two stops, Punta Gorda Chocolate & Wine and Illusions Salon & Spa.

    This event has been a lot of fun, so don’t miss it.
