Dazzle Daze, Conway’s annual
holiday shopping event, will
celebrate its 18th year with a
Christmas market theme and new ticket
offers and prizes. The holiday shopping
event will be held Nov. 21-23 with 81
merchants and a variety of merchandise
on site at the Conway Expo Center.
“We are really excited about the
Christmas market theme,” said MissE
Newton, a Dazzle Daze co-chair. “In
terms of décor, we are trying to create
a stroll through the market feel with
food stops along the way for sampling.
There will be a variety of tasty morsels
from local restaurants and caterers,”
said Marla Hambuchen, Major Gift
Executive for the Conway Regional
Health Foundation. Hambuchen works
the event each year.

to Offer Christmas
Market Atmosphere
The Christmas market theme will
mimic a Christmas wonderland look
with park benches, large Christmas
trees, vendors selling food and lights.
The site will be reconfigured to provide
more space for the holiday vendors that
are expected this year.
Newton and co-chair Shelia Isby have
been volunteering at Dazzle Daze for
numerous years. “It is important to me
to help my community. To be honest,
it’s become like a family to me,” said
Newton, an eight-year volunteer.
Isby said, “Dazzle Daze is important
to me because it helps raise funds for
the hospital. It enables the Women’s
Council to be in place to make women
aware of their health and provide much
needed funds to help with women’s
health and the community as a whole.
This is a great event for a great cause.”
Proceeds from Dazzle Daze will help
purchase 3D mammography equipment
at Conway Regional, supporting
women from all walks of life. This
equipment provides superior screening
and diagnostic capabilities and can
increase the detection of invasive breast
cancer by 41 percent, according to
studies reported by WebMD and the
American Journal of Medicine. Conway
Regional is the only provider of 3D
mammography in the health system’s
service area.
GRAND RAFFLE
The Grand Raffle has expanded from
five to 10 prizes this year. The grand
prize is a $9,000, 5 carat diamond
tennis bracelet from Lee Ann’s Fine
Jewelry.
In addition to the bracelet, a lucky
shopper could win the second-place
prize, a Spartan zero turn mower from
Moix, Etc.; third place, a winner’s
choice travel package to either Costa
Rica, Disney or a Sonoma California
wine tour; fourth place, a Louis Vuitton
package from Braswell & Sons; fifth
place, a Traeger wood fired grill from
Moix, Etc. The sixth through 10th place
prizes are $200 in cash for each winner.
“People will have 10 chances to win
raffle prizes,” said Newton. Five hundred
$100 tickets will be sold again this year.
Raffle tickets must be purchased from a
Women’s Council member, and at ticket
outlets in Conway, Greenbrier, and
Vilonia or at Dazzle Daze.
Conway Regional will provide a teddy
bear clinic again this year with nurses
and a doctor as volunteers. Clinic hours
will be from 10 am to noon and 4 to 8
pm Friday, Nov. 22 and from 10 am to
3 pm Saturday, Nov. 23.
Changes will also be made to the
Dazzle Deli with food provided
exclusively by Stoby’s. The deli will
also feature the Zeteo Coffee shop and
pies from Burgers, Pies & Fries.
“The other thing we have added this
year is an Ultimate Girls Nite Out ticket
for Girls Nite Out,” added Isby.
