Park Place Motorcars Dallas recently hosted nearly 3,000 people for a "Night of Firsts" in celebration of the dealership's opening on Lemmon Avenue. Guests were treated to the first ever Dallas appearance by Phat Strad, an all-female group from Las Vegas that plays rock music on classical instruments. Guests also got a first peek at Stanley Korshak’s Fall lineup, including fashions by Valentino, Armani, Bottega Veneta, and Ralph Lauren.

In a special, glass-enclosed showroom on the garage's second floor, there were several vintage Mercedes-Benz, including a very rare 1955 300SL "Gullwing."

Diane Eberly of Plano won a four day vacation at her choice of any Dream Catcher Retreat home anywhere in the world, including roundtrip, first-class airfare. To quote from Dream Catcher's website (http://dcr.com) "Simply stated, we offer the most spectacular homes in the most desirable locations on earth. The average price of a Dream Catcher home is $3.25 million...each home is located in a four- or five-star resort."

John Mitchell of Dallas won a one-night stay in an exclusive suite at the fabulous new W Dallas Victory Hotel, including dinner at the award-winning Craft restaurant.
