First Annual Sunday in the Park
After nearly two decades of hosting the mid-week Expo Alfresco, exciting Taste of Hollywood will take center stage this Sunday By Larry Blustein sfsuntimes@aol.com Hollywood For years, the Expo Alfresco street festival had been a signature Greater Hollywood Chamber of Commerce event that was held in late April, early May. Now, things are getting even better. For nearly two decades, that Wednesday night - from 5-8:30 was reserved for some of the best restaurants in the
region - to come out and take part in something that grew in popularity. The chance to taste some great foods and enjoy the music and other forms of entertainment was certainly a hit. Something that many had enjoyed through the years. With so many restaurants and businesses stepping up to make this a reality - the only negative that many had spoke about in recent years,
was the day of the week. Too many had to rush from work and never really had the chance to relax. That’s why things are changing this year and many are excited about it. This Sunday, the first annual Taste of Hollywood will be held from noon to 5:30 p.m. at ArtsPark at Young Circle. “Sunday is Fun Day Sunday, Page 6A
Macy's Aventura is making dreams come true for prom
Pretty Prom Dress Project gives 10 local students a thrill this year
Aventura - As the calendar says late April, it signals that time of year for high school students across the nation. It’s prom time - and memories are about to be made. Because so many simply cannot afford a prom dress, they miss out on something they will look back on for the rest of their lives. It’s a special time in their young lives, and Macy's Aventura understands that. Partnering with Precision Mentoring, Macy’s Aventura hosted the Pretty Prom Dress Project last week
- and local students had the chance to feel special for the day. Ten high school seniors from South Broward High and Hallandale High were greeted by Macy’s store associates and partners of Precision Mentoring. The store opened exclusively for the young ladies at 8:00 a.m Along with the sponsors contribution, Macy’s provided $50, a 30% off discount, breakfast, one-on-one

The Casino @ Dania Beach Has Become A True Destination Dania Beach - Back in the day, a trip to the Dania Jai Alai Fronton was a thrill. Big crowds and action-packed excitement brought people back week after week. But times have changed. As the game dwindled in fan interest - and betting dollars declined something needed to be done. Even when casinos and poker were added, things never really caught on. Fine minutes from the airport and beaches and right in the middle of all the South Florida action, the Casino @ Dania Beach was born. From the beginning, success was written all over the ambitious campaign to bring the attention back to Dania Beach. While Jai Alai, slots and poker remained, the biggest turnaround for the facility came when it became a destination again.
