Sahara Sponsors – 1002 Nights
On July 17th, more than 175 guests attended “1002 Nights” at the Pearl Event Center. This popular event debuted last year and was back by popular demand. It was sponsored by Moe Mroueh, owner of the popular Sahara Restaurant in Michigan City. Guests enjoyed Middle Eastern cuisine, live music, and a belly dancer. Moe expects that this will become an annual event and, judging from the response, many Beach Coast residents feel the same way.
