Guests are also encouraged to dress the part for the "Be Her" Look-A-Like Contest, celebrating the boots, denim, fringe, and country-girl style associated with Langley.
The event builds on El Camino's recent partnership with K99 Radio, which gave 2 listeners tickets to Langley's sold-out show.
"Events like The Dandelion Happy Hour give people another reason to come downtown, stay downtown and experience everything our community has to offer," Richard Lomax of WaterStreet Restaurants said. "When we can connect a major concert, like Ella Langley at the Hilliard Center, with local restaurants, musicians, vendors and businesses, that excitement extends beyond one venue. It creates energy throughout downtown and gives both locals and visitors a chance to make an entire experience out of the night."
