J.C. Newman Cigar Company invites the Tampa community to make a wish at its historic cigar factory for the "Wishing Hour Day" on Wednesday, September 15 at 9:15 a.m.
Legend has it that the locals used to refer to J.C. Newman’s iconic clock as the “wishing clock”. When anyone had a problem – personal, financial, health, etc. – they would gather in the street in front of El Reloj at 9:15 in the morning stretching out their arms replicating the nine and the three on the long hand of the clock. This was the wishing moment where they wished their problems away – but at 9:16 it was gone.
Foundation Coffee will be pouring coffee compliments of J.C. Newman from 9 a.m. - 10 a.m., while supplies last.
This event is free and open to the public. J.C. Newman Cigar Company Museum and Factory Store hours are M - F 9 a.m. - 5:30 p.m.
WHAT: Wishing Hour Day
WHEN: 9/15 at 9:15 a.m.
WHERE: The Steps of El Reloj (2701 N 16th Street, Tampa, Florida)
