Clarendon business leaders are making shopping at home fun and easy this year with several activities being planned for the month of December. Following local merchants’ Black Friday and Small Business Saturday sales this weekend, Late Night Shopping will return the next three Thursdays, December 5, 12, and 19, with several stores staying open until 8 p.m. for your shopping convenience. Santa Claus will be on hand all three nights, and wagon rides will be available.
Cathy’s Christmas Candies and the Nazarene Church’s handmade crafts will be available December 5 and 12. Michelle Hall will be making sandwiches downtown on December 5, and St. Mary’s Catholic Church will be serving a meal on December 12. On Saturday, December 14, the Clarendon Chamber of Commerce will hold the first Clarendon Christmas Bazaar at the Donley County Activity Center from 2 to 8 p.m. That fun-filled day will include drawings for door prizes and gift certificates every half hour, opportunities for photos with Santa Claus, an appearance by the Happy Toy Maker, and booths featuring more than 20 vendors. A gift wrapping service will also be available at the bazaar.
Late Night Shopping will close out on Thursday, December 19, with the main attraction being the first “Great Bowls of Fire” Chili Challenge sponsored by the Clarendon Economic Development Corp. and the Chamber of Commerce. Details for the event are still being finalized, but organizers say the Challenge will pit merchants against each other to benefit the Mulkey Theatre project.
Local merchants and the Donley County State Bank are also making shopping at home easy this year with zero interest loans available for the holidays for those who qualify. Contact the bank at 874-3581 for details.
Christmas is a great time to support the merchants who support your community. Think Clarendon first.
