Christmastime activities are lining up quickly in Clarendon, and local merchants are getting ready for a busy season with plans for Late Night Shopping and the second annual Chili Challenge.
In a move from the traditional Thursday schedule, Late Night Shopping this year will begin this Friday, December 5, at downtown merchants and continue every Friday until Christmas.
The “Great Bowls of Fire” Chili Challenge returns for its second year on Friday, December 12, with this year’s event being held from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Crossties Ministry Center and hosted by the Clarendon Chamber of Commerce.
Steve & Jesse will provide musical entertainment as businesses and organizations go up against one another for bragging rights and their chance at the 2014 title.
Monday, December 8, is the entry deadline for chili teams. The cost is $25 per team. The winners will be selected on a “people’s choice” basis, and admission is $5 per person.
Challenge details and entry forms are available from Bonnie Campbell at the Clarendon Visitor Center inside the Mulkey Theatre.
Holiday shopping is easy and affordable with a Christmas Cash loan from the Donley County State Bank and enjoy interest free shopping at a dozen participating establishments.
The program, organized by the Chamber of Commerce, allows anyone to make application for a loan of up to $3,000 interest free with the Donley County State Bank. Once a loan has been approved, the borrower will be issued Christmas Cash Dollars, which may be spent like US currency toward new purchases at all of the participating businesses. Christmas Cash must be spent by December 31, 2014.
As of Tuesday morning, participating Christmas Cash merchants this year are: Cornell’s Country Store, J&W Lumber, Osburn Appliance, Country Bloomers, Ronna’s Creations, Stavenhagen Video, Henson’s, Every Nook & Cranny, Straight Off The Ranch, The Clarendon Enterprise, Mike’s Pharmacy, Lowe’s Family Center & Ace Hardware.
