September 6th through September 30th, anyone who finds a picture of Doña can enter a raffle that will give participants a chance of winning a hundred dollars. The money can be used at participating stores on First Street. The stores included in this events are The Little Art Shop (129 E First Street), Rosie Mae Uniques (129 F First Street), HQ Art Gallery (333 D First Street), Aquarian Plants (114 West D Street), Adobe (431 First Street), Angel Heart 4 You (501 First Street), and many more. Upon finding a photo, there will be a code for you to scan on the back. Additionally, if you purchase from the store you find the photo in and show the receipt as evidence, you will get to be entered into the raffle twice.
This event will be fun for kids and adults who go to First Street. Not only is this a good thing for stores there but for Benicia, as well, because it can bring up revenue to further advance First Street and other locations in this city.
Outside of this event, there will be many other events happening down in First Street and in Benicia this year. If you are interested in the events going on in Benicia, you can view them at https://beniciamainstreet.org/benicia-events/annual/
