Late Night Shopping continues this Thursday

By Roger Estlack, Clarendon Enterprise

Late Night Shopping continues this Thursday with several downtown merchants participating on Kearney Street until 8 p.m.

The Chamber of Commerce is supporting Late Night Shopping this year by giving away $100 in Christmas Cash each Thursday between now and Christmas. Shoppers can register 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. at the Chamber office.

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.

Panhandle Transit is offering free transportation to and from the downtown area on December 2, 9, 16, and 23 from 5:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. to allow local residents to take advantage of the late shopping. 

Interested shoppers need to call Panhandle Transit at 874-2573 during regular office hours to make their bus reservations.

Late Night Shopping will continue December 16 and December 23; and beginning next week, several merchants will be sponsoring a wagon to give free rides to kids of all ages.

Support your local merchants this holiday season, and watch for their Christmas specials and holiday hours in the pages of the Enterprise.
