So what if she didn’t win American Idol this year–…local fans can still come and celebrate with Syesha Mercado tomorrow evening at Gulfstream Park for her welcome home party. If you’re lucky, she might sing a couple of tunes but according to the press release below, she’ll probably just be on hand hanging out and greeting fans.

You can also party with her this Thursday at Karu & Y where she’ll be hosting an event as well.
