Black Friday Giveaways & Prizes
It’s the event that everyone has waited all year for… We’re celebrating 25 years of Black Fridays at Eagle Eye with our biggest Car Campout yet!
You won't have to stand outside in the cold and can relax and enjoy time with your friends and family in the comfort of your vehicle. The party starts at 9 p.m. Thursday, November 28, 2024, with live entertainment, food trucks, giveaways, and more!

Armbands vs. Tickets
This year, we’re doing things a little different! Instead of tickets, this year we will have wristbands. This is not only cool memorabilia, but it will help in making sure there is no car jumping and that everyone is camping fairly! To get a wristband, you MUST be in your car and have a seatbelt.
The first 1,000 customers will have a green wristband. This will make sure you receive your EEO Black Friday Goodie Bag. The next 1,000+ customers will receive a black wristband. Once your wristband has been placed, do not take it off!
Can I bring an RV?
No. You will need to be able to fit your vehicle in a single parking space.
Will there be food trucks?
Yes! This year we will have FOUR awesome, local food trucks to keep you fueled through the night, including Greek Street, Grit in My Belly, Mr. Coffee Bean, and Grit + Grind. However, this year they will be in a different area. Head towards Publix and Panera at the end of our parking lot, and you’ll see the trucks set up in a row. You can also find porta potties here.
What if there is car jumping?
We want to make sure everyone is camping fairly, which is why we switched to wristbands this year. Each person can only get one wristband, which means each person can also only get one goodie bag, so car jumping won’t help anyone get an unfair advantage!
What time should I arrive to the Car Campout?
It is entirely up to our customers when they want to park. Parking signs will be placed in our lot lettered A-V… Start at A and go through V. Our Live DJ will begin on our radio station and individual wristbands will be passed out by row starting around 9 PM on Thursday. We are not responsible for overnight or abandoned cars when we come around with wristbands. If you are not in your car when we come around with tickets, your car will be skipped. It is recommended to be in your car by 8:45 pm, as the first part of our distribution team will start getting a head count for each car at this time.
Will I get something if I’m not a part of the first 1,000?
We definitely suggest joining in for the Car Campout fun even if you aren’t apart of the first 1,000. Anyone can participate in games and trivia throughout the night for a chance to win giveaway prizes! In addition to the first 1,000 wristbands, the next 1,000 to arrive for the campout, will also receive wristbands for exclusive prizes. Everyone through the doors by 11 AM will get to shop our ENTIRE STORE at 20% off on Black Friday.
How will the cashier know I was inside before 11 AM and get 20% off?
From 10-11 AM, we will hand out red cards to anyone still inside the store shopping. This card will indicate that you will receive the 20% off your entire purchase.* At checkout, hand the red card to the cashier to receive your discount. If you didn’t make it into the store before 11 AM, don’t worry. You can still receive $10-$100 off with our Turkey Bucks Coupons!
Will there be security on-site?
Yes, we will have security provided by the Dothan PD.
How old do you have to be to participate in the campout and get a bag?
All ages are welcome to participate in the campout, but activities, games, and prizes are best suited for kids 5 & up.
How do I sign up for texts?
Make sure you are signed up for our text messages by texting “FRIDAY” to 833-915-1343. Reply YES. Make sure to not have anything else in the text. You should receive a confirmation text as shown in this example. When texting trivia answers, be sure to only send the answer to a question one time.
Do I have to sign up for texts if I have in the past?
Yes! Please make sure you have entered this year’s text thread to be able to join in on the fun!
What is the difference between the first 1,000 customers and 1,001+?
The first 1,000 will receive a green wristband, the next 1,000 will receive a black wristband. Only those with green wristbands will receive a bag at 5am when we open. Make sure you keep your wristband on your wrist. In the event not all 1,000 bags are claimed, the order of the black wristbands will determine those who are next in line. Everyone at the campout will be eligible to participate in giveaways through text and our live steam. All those in attendance will be among the first to enter the store and take advantage of the Black Friday deals with the best selection. The entire store will be 20% off until 11am.
When are the giveaways?
Giveaways will begin at 9 PM. The first giveaways will be through the livestream and test services to give time for tickets to be passed out. Once tickets are passed out, listen closely as your number may be called. Please report to the prize claim area in a timely manner or we will move on to someone else. You must be present at the campout to claim prizes.
How do we listen to the livestream?
The recommended way to join the livestream is directly through the Vimeo app. You can join here. If you are having issues with the app, try tuning in through the stream at the top of this page. The livestreams will have the strongest connection, helpful visual slides and less delay. If none of these are working, we will still have our private radio station, 104.1FM to listen in.
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.
What is there to do at the Campout?
Trivia, games and prizes via the livestream.
Dance parties/Dance floor: head up to the area around the DJ booth to stretch your legs and dance a bit.
Food Trucks: This year, we will have FOUR food trucks to fuel you throughout the night. They will be located at the end of the parking lot towards Publix and Panera. You can also find porta potties in this area.
Food Trucks Attending
Food Truck Services will close at 4:00 AM. Porta-Potties will also be available on-site.
