Shop Till Ya' Drop
Welcome to ZSE Seattle's Shop Till Ya Drop II!
Sunday, December 17, 2006
1900Z - 2300Z (11 AM - 3 PM PST)
Once again, the holidays are just around the corner and that means food, family, friends and of course SHOPPING! What better way to get into the holiday groove then a day spent at the malls, coffee shops and some of the best eateries in the nation? Did we say shopping? The NW offers the shopping enthusiast the best variety and quality of outlets. All you have to do is get here! Seattle, Portland and Vancouver are rolling out the red carpets to give you 5-Star service while you Shop Till Ya Drop.
Last year's event was a huge success and we want to make this year's even bigger!
ZSE will be furnishing full ATC during the event so that your focus can be on the task at hand. Now remember, if you can’t find what you need at the malls in Seattle just get back in the cockpit and head on up to Vancouver or down to Portland. No need to do all your shopping in one place, right?
