Stop and Shop Local – “Small Business, Big Change”
 

The holidays are fast approaching and what better way to show that you care than to purchase items that are unique and one of a kind? Stop and Shop Local is where you’ll have access to several vendors to purchase that perfect gift for a loved one or yourself. Best part is you’ll be supporting local businesses, all within our area. The Stop and Shop Local event takes place in the same building where Spirit of Halloween is at currently. 

This day will be filled with fun for the whole family, its free to attend, plenty of merchandise and services to purchase and raffle tickets to buy for your chance at winning local products from our local vendors. All this on Small Business Saturday and alongside Santa photos.
 

Agenda for Stop and Shop Local:

10:00 to 6:00 – Vendor Fair

3:00 to 5:00 – Santa’s Here! (Photos)
 

Message to Vendors:

This event has no vendor fee, but there is an application process and limited slots for vendors. We only ask that you apply to attend and donate one raffle item for same day raffles, our goal is to provide variety so spaces are limited for each type of vendor. There will be no double booking for Direct Sales. Deadline to apply is November 14^th. Please contact Kat Funaki by sending an e-mail to eventsbyourteam@gmail.com or call at (580) 647-4632.
