One of the things I love the most about all the festivals we have in Decatur is how everyone in the community gets involved. A number of businesses this weekend are having special discounts, mini-events and offers to help celebrate the holiday and Decatur Book Festival weekend.
I’ll be updating this post for the next two days as I get updates from other local businesses.
Mingei just got a new order of reading figures from La Union. They’re really popular and I’m sure with over 50,000 literary fans shopping around town this weekend, the figures will be going fast. Also make sure to check out the recycled Decatur banner bags on sale.
Kaleidoscope has its new fall shipment in with lots of studded, chained and sequinced items. In between author signings and funnel cake eating, make sure to stop the boutique to check out the new goods.
Melrose on Ponce is holding a sidewalk sale this weekend. The Sudstree will be there with her wonderful handmade soaps and scrubs. The store is located at 345 W. Ponce de Leon Ave.
Greenes Fine Foods will be welcoming back author of Freddie and Me: Life Lessons From Freddie Bennett, Augusta National’s Legendary Caddie Master, Tripp Bowden. Also stop by and check out the new products and enjoy samples all weekend.
