The following by the City of Georgetown
Shoppers are invited to Shop Small and Shop Local with Georgetown merchants during the annual Small Business Saturday event on Saturday, Nov. 29. Small Business Saturday is recognized as a day to support and celebrate the local, small businesses in the community.
Participating retailers and restaurants will have holiday shopping and dining specials available. The Shop Small kick-off event will be held at 10 a.m. at the Downtown Development and Special Events Office, 502 S. Main St., and the City is offering the first 600 shoppers a free canvas tote bag to use for shopping. Those first 600 shoppers will also receive a passport to collect stamps at participating businesses. Complete passports can be returned through 5 p.m. the following Saturday, Dec. 6, to the Visitors Center, 103 W. Seventh St., for a chance to win a gift basket with items from local businesses.
For the third year, the Georgetown Main Street Program will feature the Coffee & Cocoa Crawl event from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Downtown coffee shops, cafes, and sweet shops will have tasting opportunities for ticket holders. Tickets are on sale now for $25 and include a keepsake mug, cookie, and samples at 10 locations downtown. A limited number of 550 tickets will be sold for the event.
The annual, limited-edition Main Street ornament will be for sale for $25 in mid-November at the Georgetown Visitors Center and at the Georgetown Art Center, 816 S. Main St. This year’s ornament features the Georgetown Art Center. Proceeds benefit the Façade & Sign Grant Program.
The Small Business Saturday event is co-sponsored by the Georgetown Main Street Program, the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce, and the Downtown Georgetown Association.
