Let the local holiday shopping begin tonight on the first Terrific Thursday of 2009! I know some of you are dreading the idea of holiday shopping, but here’s a few things to keep in mind about Decatur’s Terrific Thursdays:
1.) You won’t be stuck in a mall. Tonight you can shop and enjoy the weather. Plus our local restaurants offer tastier dinning options that your average food court.
2.) You’ll be supporting your local economy as you shop. Don’t need to elaborate on that one!
3.) You’ll be one of the first to check out Decatur’s new holiday lighting.
Remember to check out our Terrific Thursdays page to see who all is participating this year. A few things to keep in mind:
- Alexia Gallery won’t have late hours until December.
- Greene’s just sent out an e-newsletter. They have a bunch of new products and some deals on their candy and fudge this Thursday.
- Kaleidoscope will be offering 15% every Terrific Thursday on fall clothing. Tonight will be one of Camille’s last in-store before the birth of her son Connor, so come by and hang out.
- Keep your eye out for the Decatur Pedicabs and hop on! We’ve hired two of the pedicabs to drive Terrific Thursday customers around for free. Just look for the cabs with the Terrific Thursday signs and holiday lights and hitch a ride.
Have a fun and terrific Thursday!
I’d love to participate! Are there any opportunities in the courtyard or would a shop like to host me?!
Angie, if you have a product or artwork, I would recommend visiting some of the shops that are participating and see if can be a part of the Terrific Thursdays specials.
