In spite of the cold, snowy temperatures and the questionable roads, 50 people braved the elements and enjoyed an evening of great holiday shopping in downtown Findley Lake last night! Shoppers who pre-registered for the special shopping event received holiday goodie bags upon arrival and enjoyed discounts & special activities at each of the shops. One shop offered mini tarot card readings, another featured free holiday fashion & make-up tips. Another shop featured custom-made Swarovski jewelry. Festive Christmas lights illuminated Main Street and the scene was joyfully reminiscent of holiday shopping in small towns years ago. There were Findley Lake neighbors who support the local shops year-round and shoppers who came from the nearby towns of Harborcreek, North East and Corry, PA as well as Jamestown, NY.
At 9:00 pm most gathered at the Blue Heron Inn ( enjoying complimentary hor d'ourves & seasonal drink specials) for the grand prize drawings.
Winners were:
- Lynn McGill, a local Findley Lake resident, won one dozen free votive candles for 6 months from Beth's Candle Cottage.
- Kathy Andrews, of North East, PA won a $50 gift certificate from Wonderments.
- Denise Andrews, also of North East, PA was the lucky recipient of a $50 gift certificate from Our Own Candle Company.
- Chris Kasper, a resident of Corry, PA, won a $50 gift certificate from Findley Lake Fashions.
- Marion Farrington won the evening's top price of an overnight stay at the Blue Heron Inn.
It was a fun evening & we can't wait to do it again! In the meantime we'll follow up with a "Guy's Night Out" on Sat, December 20th. Once again we'll offer mystery discounts, provide shopping assistance and offer drink specials at the Inn. Until then, may all the joys of the season be yours!
