Ladies Only Sample Tour
Since 2004, affectionately known as LOST, this is a fun way to explore an 
Original Shopping District and see all the great products and services located there.
Stroll the Original Shopping Districts and “sample” all they have to offer. Fabulous freebies await you. Everyone with a bracelet and map receives free merchandise, samples, tasty treats or beverages from participating merchants. Those who purchase a bracelet will also receive a coupon book for additional savings in the Original Shopping Districts. Bring your mother, daughter or girl friends & have a girls’ night out!
What is LOST and how do you join in the fun? Starting in April, buy a bracelet packet. Each packet costs $12.50 ($13.50 if purchased online) and contains an Original Shopping District map, coupon book and event bracelet. The bracelet in conjunction with the map allows the wearer to receive free samples at participating merchants during the event. The coupon book contains deals from all participating Districts.
Complete details are on the Ladies Only Sample Tour web site and Facebook page.

Small Business Saturday
Do you know about Small Business Saturday It's a great day for a local shop, its surrounding community and for YOU, the shopper.
Does the thought of hitting the big box stores on Black Friday make your stomach hurt? Well, don't do it! Instead, on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, you can enjoy Small Business Saturday. Created by American Express in 2010, it provides extra motivation for holiday shoppers to patronize businesses that are small and local.
And how does American Express do that? It's pretty simple. Register your card on the American Express web site, use your American Express card to pay for a purchase at a participating business and American Express gives you a credit on your card statement! Yes, it's that simple!
Business owners: Sign up! Customers: Pledge to shop local!
Whether you're a small business owner or a customer, want to encourage your friends to Shop Small or help rally an entire town, everyone can help spread the word about Small Business Saturday. The more people and the more businesses that get involved, the bigger and more beneficial the day will be.
