This is the fourth year Wicked Dolphin has presented the event.  The first year celebrated the 1920’s with a theme of prohibition.  The following year’s theme had attendees enjoying the 1940’s war effort and Hollywood Glamour and last year was 1950’s America.  “Each year we have more to offer and enjoy by all but the end result is to raise funds for the Cape Coral Animal Shelter in order to save more lives and give the city a service that is desperately needed,” said Cape Coral Animal Shelter President and Wicked Dolphin Distillery owner, JoAnn Elardo.
