Dalton Park Turns 10
Dalton Park turns 10 this year, and it wanted to celebrate with shoppers in a big way. Seems like it succeeded: the center saw 12,000 visitors stopping in to help it celebrate its big day.
The outlet centre has done well for itself in the last ten years, and in the process has done quite well for others. Charitable support is on the rise, for example. In 2012, the center’s fundraising efforts brought in a total of £7,715 for charitable support against £6,120 the previous year.
Jerry Hatch, asset managers for Dalton Park was delighted by that news, saying, “to report an increase in funds raised here on site, despite the tough economic climate is testament to the generosity of our visitors and the local community. We hope to achieve even more throughout 2013.”
The birthday celebrated the center’s successes in a big way, with a great big cake. 350 visitors got together to help decorate the special, enormous Dalton Park 10th birthday cake, and were rewarded with tasty cupcakes—1000 of those were given away to particpants and spectators. Dalton, the center’s mascot, danced with the younger folk that attended, reporting that Gangnam style dance was particularly popular.
There were birthday stiltwalkers, party games like Pinata, Pin the tail on Dalton, Silent Musical Statues, fairground rides, live music and DJing, and a lot more. The center also took the opportunity to launch a car giveaway with a value of £12,000.
The center captured a video of the celebration, and shared it and a photo gallery with shoppers after the event.
