Fairfield 1^stFridays Art Walk All Things Italian Street Festival has been named as one of just 25 destination in Iowa  as a 2010 “Must See Event” and a “Silver Ticket Cash Stop” by the Iowa Lottery and the Iowa Tourism Office.

Each Iowa Event and Silver Ticket Cash Stop is an attraction that’s uniquely Iowa, offering its own blend of regional flavor, entertainment and culture.

“We’re excited to be chosen by Iowa Tourism and the Lottery,” said Rustin Lippincott, Fairfield Convention and Visitors Bureau. “We know the advertising power of the Lottery, along with promotional efforts of the Tourism office, will bring many more Iowans to see all the hard work our group has done to market our area.”

In addition, All Things Italian Street Festival and every other “Silver Ticket Cash Stop” will give visitors the chance to win cash totaling $1,000, just by entering a non-winning Iowa Lottery “Silver Ticket” instant-scratch ticket at the Friday night art and food festival.

The Silver Ticket game celebrates the Iowa Lottery’s 25^th anniversary and gives players the chance to win up to $25,000 instantly.

“Our goal is to partner with 25 great events in Iowa and give people a bonus reason to attend with the $1,000 “Silver Ticket Cash Stop” contest,” explains Nancy Landess, Manager of the Iowa Tourism Office.
