First Friday in downtown Camas Jan. 6
Thursday, December 29, 2016
The theme for January’s First Friday in downtown Camas is “CLUE in Downtown Camas.” Friends and families are invited downtown next Friday, Jan. 6, from 5 to 8 p.m. to find fun clues at participating merchants to solve the ” Case of the Missing Cookies.” Participants are entered to win prizes along the way, and those that solve the mystery will get a free special cookie from Cake Happy and an extra raffle ticket to win gift baskets.
Five lucky people throughout the evening will get a “Secret Passage” card to go straight to Cake Happy for an extra special treat. Those that dress up as any of the CLUE game characters get five extra tickets to win. As usual, extra tickets are also offered for every $10 spent downtown.
Always family-friendly, First Friday will have winter crafts for kids, and The Paint Roller Mobile Paint Party will be on hand doing free cool painting projects. Liberty theatre will cap the evening off with a showing of Alfred Hitchcock’s To To Catch A Thief. The 1955 film stars Cary Grant and Grace Kelly in a perfect blend of suspense and romance.
