Downtown Clarendon is the place to be Thursday as Late Night Shopping gets underway this week, and $100 in Christmas Cash is up for grabs.
Several merchants on Kearney Street will be staying open until 8:30 p.m. for your holiday shopping convenience, and prizes from 27 local businesses will be on the wheel in addition to the jackpot money.
The Chamber of Commerce is providing the $100 in Christmas Cash each Thursday between now and Christmas. Five lucky winners will be drawn; and if no one hits the big money, the pot rolls over and will continue to do so until the final night of Late Night Shopping on December 21 when someone will win the money.
Shoppers can register to spin the wheel from 5 p.m. to 7:45 p.m. at any participating Christmas Cash merchant, and the drawing will be held at 8 p.m. You must be 18 years old to register, but no purchase is necessary.
That jolly old elf – St. Nicholas – will be on the loose downtown this Thursday. Kids are encouraged to come tell him all their wishes, and parents are reminded to bring their cameras to get those memorable photos.
The Downtown Ministry Center will also be open from 6 to 8 p.m. and will serve hot chocolate and refreshments. The center is asking people to please bring blankets for donation to the needy.
Late Night Shopping will continue December 7, 14, and 21.
Holiday shopping at home is easy and affordable with all three local banks again teaming up to provide zero-percent interest “Christmas Cash” loans this year.
