Kick off summer with season-long shopping perks! Join us TOMORROW (during store business hours) for the Hello Summer Shopping Kickoff, where our local businesses will be rolling out doorbusters, treats, or exclusive deals to celebrate the start of summer!

Pick up a punch card at any participating business and start earning punches: 1 punch for every $10 spent. Once your card is full (10 punches), the business will collect it, and you’ll get a new one. Every completed card is entered into a drawing for local gift certificates at the end-of-summer Sidewalk Sales on August 8th.

Support your favorite small businesses from June 6th through Sidewalk Sale Weekend in August and rack up those punches for chances to win big!

See you tomorrow!
