You know how the story starts: "A long time ago at a food truck invasion far, far away ...." At least that's the story tonight when Tamiami Park hosts a Star Wars themed food truck roundup to celebrate the Blu-Ray release of the entire Star Wars saga, including more than 40 hours of the usual outtakes, movies, and interviews with various creatures from a galaxy far, far away.
The evening will feature a free raffle of the complete Star Wars saga, and two costume contests for best Star
Wars-themed kid's costume and best Princess Leia-themed adult costume
(so be sure to bring your gold metallic bikini out of mothballs). Pets
and glass bottles aren't allowed, so please leave your Wookie at home.
