Photo by Carlin GillenOwner of Driftwood Beach Home and Garden Heather Rippy and co-owner of Design 2000 Irina La Rose were beaming from ear to ear over the success of the monthly summer event, Summer Night Out.
On Thursday, June 19 businesses at the Whitney Plaza stayed open late while local residents engaged in shopping with prosecco at Driftwood Beach and pizza from Ventura’s Italian Kitchen next door.
Driftwood Beach caters to many local artists, and many came out to support.
“I love meeting people that have bought my artwork, and hearing about how they used it,” says Michelle Romine, owner of Coastal Magpie Studios.
Rippy's passion and enthusiasm echoes throughout the event. She highly encourages everyone to come out and support local businesses, especially during the slower seasons.
“The chains don’t miss you but we do!” says Rippy.
This monthly summer event brings not only sales but spirits up. The next planned Summer Night Out is July 17.
