Black Friday Goody Bags
In previous years, we’ve given our famous Black Friday goody bags to the first 500 customers, but this year, it’s going to be better than ever! The first 1,000 customers in the doors will receive one of our famous Black Friday goody bags.
Inside each bag will be an assortment of FREE merch from our top brands, local business freebies, and an Eagle Eye gift certificate between $5-$500, randomly placed in each bag. This year, TWO lucky winners will receive a $500 gift certificate! These gift certificates must be used by 11 AM on Black Friday.
If you are not one of the 1,000 to receive a golden ticket for a bag you are encouraged to stick around for the party to win prizes. We will be giving an additional 1,000 green tickets that have an exclusive coupon and will be entered into giveaway drawings.
Car Campout Parking
Customers will be parking themselves. Look for our yellow signs labeled A-R. Park your car starting with A and go down the alphabet!
On Thursday night, November 23, 2023, at 11 PM, everyone must be in their car when we come around to pass out tickets! Don't lose your ticket! It not only gets you in the door when we open but will also be used for drawing giveaways throughout the night.

Can we leave and come back?
Once rows A-V are filled, the parking lot will be closed off. It is very difficult to move cars once the party starts. If you are to leave, you will not be granted access to park in the main parking lot until after 5AM. Leaving the campout will also make you ineligible for any giveaways that happen the rest of the night. The doors open shortly before 5 AM, if you are not in line you will not be able to receive a bag.
