The event was a huge success and attracted over 500 Casa de Campo villa owners, residents and visitors!\u00a0\n\nThe event formally opened at 7pm, when sales racks, product displays, lounges, bars, food, a\u00a0caricaturist and the Juicy Girls<\/a> appeared on the Marina Casa de Campo’s main shopping street, Calle Barlovento, after which the street fair\u00a0received\u00a0its name. Calle Barlovento was buzzing with activity and\u00a0excitement all night as Casa de Campo villa owners, residents and resort guests strolled along and enjoyed a wonderful evening with beautiful weather, spectacular specials and a little music and entertainment, which continued until after 11pm.\n\nInvolved in making the evening such a resounding success was the Marina administration, without whose support the event would not have been possible, as well as all the businesses who did so much to make the evening so special.\n\n\"ron\"<\/a><\/strong>\n\nBewitched Cafe <\/strong>[info]<\/a>, <\/strong>who\u00a0converted themselves into the ‘Casa de Campo Living Lounge’ for the evening, with a DJ, free sandwiches and smoothies, as well as a Ron Atlantico bar. Ron Atlantico<\/a>, is THE Dominican premium rum (and the best rum I\u2019ve ever tasted) – it is blended from a unique mix of the Dominican Republic\u2019s finest aged rums, and has a heavenly, smooth and sweet\u00a0flavor.\n\n\"bleu\n\nSeveral of the Marina Casa de Campo’s banks: Banco del Progreso<\/strong> and Banco Lopez de Haro <\/strong>set up stalls outside and\u00a0remained open to answer questions about their products. Banco del Progreso was bringing to clients attentions all the benefits of their unique Casa de Campo American Express Co-Branded Platinum Card<\/a>.\n\nBleu Marine<\/strong> – had a charming model boat exhibition outside their store, showcasing some of their most unique hand-made\u00a0model yachts. Bleu Marine\u00a0specialize\u00a0in made to order replicas of your own yacht. The quality craftsmanship of the boats is exceptional and a remarkable example of what \u201cMade in the Dominican Republic\u201d can mean.\n\n\"emilio<\/a>Emilio Robba – <\/strong>although at the far end of the Barlovento street was very popular with Casa de Campo’s feria-goers, and was full almost all the night. The shop assistants dressed up\u00a0especially\u00a0with flowers in their hair and had created a number of special displays and offers for the evening inside the store.\n\nElementos<\/strong>, Dedon and Arte Varell<\/strong>i – the Marina’s furniture stores all took part by showcasing their furniture out on the street, creating fun and relaxing lounges which really showed off their wonderful and\u00a0unique styles. \u00a0Offering customers and passersby the opportunity to come and experience the relaxing and unique nature of each of their collections.\n\n\"colthes\"\n\nMediterraneo, \u00a0SLAM, Azzuro and Carmen Sol New York <\/strong>clothing stores all set up ‘sales’ racks outside – with SLAM bringing their\u00a0clothes down to the event all the way from the Marina pier so they could participate. All were offering some fantastic\u00a0‘one-night-only’ discounts of up-to 50% and some had even set up their own satellite bars – where they were offering free food and drinks to customers and hungry and\/or thirsty passers-by!\n\nArt’ Arena: <\/strong>clothing, artisan\u00a0jewelry, and beach-essentials shop was incredibly popular all night, not surprising given the discounts and special offers they had – beach tops were only $10 and many other items had up to 40% off! This hidden gem of a store experienced a great deal of interest the entire night, though we would like to think it was due to being our\u00a0neighbors\u00a0for the evening… though the discounts and quality merchandise might also have had some influence.\n\n\"img_2744_2\"<\/a>Everett Designs<\/strong> – fine\u00a0jewelry\u00a0store\u00a0remained\u00a0open with a special ‘ca\u00f1a’ display showing off William Everett’s latest line of ‘ca\u00f1a’ inspired\u00a0jewelry’ and had some very special ‘one-night-only’ prices on the ‘Las Ca\u00f1as’ and ‘Los Cruces de la Concepcion’ lines of\u00a0jewelry.

As a result Chinois was packed all night – especially thanks to Patricia Proa\u00f1o who brought a table of 16 hungry shopaholics! While we regret that we did not make it there that evening, we’ve heard many great things and hope that Susana Joa will be providing such a great special again soon! (NOTE: As Susana is an avid reader of Casa de Campo Living, so if enough people leave a comment, she could easily be convinced!)<\/em>\n\nAlso involved in making the night’s festivities such a wonderful experience were:\n
