Finally, thanking everyone involved with Wicked Weekend 2010 would not be complete without thanking some of the people at the City of Wilton Manors. Without everyone's help, we could not have made this a success.
To the WMPD, Fire Department and EMT’s and the employees of the City of Wilton Manors – we cannot begin to thank you enough. We know that our plans changed frequently and drastically throughout this process and you all worked with us. There are far too many to name individually, but each of you deserve applause for the herculean efforts made to get everything permitted, organized, compliant with code and then to keep us all safe this weekend. Words cannot begin to express our appreciation.
Many thanks to Patrick Cann and Chris Cooper, Ernie Sanz and Roger Caraballo at Leisure Services – you guys are truly indispensable.
Melissa Cole, you are amazing and thank you so much for your constant guidance through the cumbersome permit process. Wilton Manors Main Street is in your debt. Chuck Howard & Captain Ed Costello, please thank every officer for their efforts this weekend to keep us safe – your guys stepped up during the ‘lean’ year and it will not be forgotten during better times.
Finally, Wilton Manors Main Street wants to thank the Wilton Manors City Commission and the Mayor for extending the bar hours to 4:00 am to help our sponsors, the bars of Wilton Drive.
To anyone we have missed, thank you and know that it’s not a lack of gratitude.

Wicked Weekend's Festivities on the Drive all in one easy place
If you are looking for a quick place to see the weekend's festivities, I have the link for you.
Surf over to http://www.wickedweekend2010.com and have a look around.
If you don't have access to the magazines you find in the bars, you can find the same advertisements there.
There is something different happening each night starting tonight lasting through Sunday Night. Parking is available at Hagen Park, but since the Drive will be narrowed to one lane each way, it will go fast. More details are on the web page.
You can also park at the Fort Lauderdale High School, Equality Park and the Old Sun Trust building on 26th St. The our shuttle is available to get you where you want to go.

NEW PARTNERSHIPS OFFER NEW LIFE FOR WICKED MANORS
With Wicked Manors just over two weeks away there is GREAT NEWS. With the fears of having to cancel this year's WICKED MANORS due to financial concerns, PGFL Board Member and President of Wilton Manors Main Street, Inc., Doug Blevins asked WMMS board members to consider a partnership with PGFL and an immediate infusion of $5,000 to keep WICKED MANORS alive. The Board of WMMS, unanimously agreed that Wicked Manors is too important to the success of the city and with local businesses already struggling, it was time to step up to the plate. WMMS and the board of PGFL have agreed to a partnership as co-sponsors of the event and proceeds will be split between the two non-profit organizations.
In addition, PGFL Chairman Bob Kecskemety and Doug Blevins made an impassioned plea to the City Commission at last night’s city commission asking that the City of Wilton Manors also recognize the need to keep Wicked Manors alive. PGLF requested financial assistance from the city in an e-mail late last week. City Commissioner, Justin Flippen brought up the request under new business at last night’s meeting and after a brief discussion the city approved $3,000 with the promise of a match from WMMS.
The following local businesses have also committed as sponsors for Wicked Manors 2009: The Alibi and Bills, Gables Wilton Park, The new Manor Club and Restaurant, Bottoms and Tops Clothing, Dean Trantalis-Attorney, Chic Optique, Copy This, Hot Spots/Latino Boys Magazine, and the South Florida Blade. Beverage Sponsors include Bacardi, Red Bull and Budweiser. Sponsorship packages are still available and welcomed.
Dispelling any rumours of relocating, Wicked Manors is once again being held on Wilton Drive from NE 21st Court to Five Points. In addition, at this year's event, there will be designated entry points for attendees and the WMMS and PGFL volunteers will be there to check ID’s and also accept any donations to help defray the cost of Wicked Manors. A $2.00 suggested minimum donation will be requested.
More good news, the board of PGLF has also agreed to offer free vendor space to any non-profit organizations who wish to participate. Reservations will be taken on a first-come basis. Also, other vendors wishing to sell goods or services may rent a (15’X15’) for $175.00
New this year and sponsored by Gables Wilton Park, will be a live band at the south entry as well as the Wicked Manors' Main Stage with our housedeejay, DaddyO and various costume contest emceed by our hosts Misty Eyez and D.J. Shane Phoenix. Shane will also be broadcasting the event live on Q Nation Sirius Satellite Radio.
With PGLF and WMMS forming a new partnership and with support from the City of Wilton Manors, there is renewed sense of community spirit. Wicked Manors 2009 is destined to be better than ever.
