Ticky Tacky Friday Night at The City Wine Sellar

Ticky Tacky Friday Night at The City Wine Sellar

Host: Debbie Malenfant
Location: City Wine Sellar
102 Water Street, Elizabeth City, NC 27909 US
When: Friday, June 13, 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm
Phone: 252-335-1163

According to Websters, Ticky Tacky means "shoddy and unimaginatively designed; flimsy and dull." I'm sure this isn't an accurate description of the group that will be playing at The City Wine Sellar on Friday night. Band members include: Bill Luton, Britney Luton, Hot Hoidal (aka Charlie Hoidal), and Mindy Luton. They play a hodgepodge of hits from the classics to today's hits, with some 90s rock thrown in for good measure. Ticky Tacky will play from 7:00-10:00 pm. Deli fare will be served until 9:00 pm. Non-smoking inside venue. Smoking allowed in outside cafe seating area. Come out for a great time!

Ticky Tacky Friday at CWS; Juneteenth Saturday at Waterfront Park (1-7pm); and Celebrity Chef Dinner at Montero's on Sunday evening! Who say's there's nothing to do in Eliz. City?!

Check out other upcoming events at www.citywine.blogspot.com. Call 252-335-1163 for more information.
