First Friday Hometown Thanks

Description

November First Friday in Downtown Cartersville
Giving Thanks to Small Businesses

CARTERSVILLE – The Cartersville Downtown Development Authority invites you to get your holiday shopping started in Historic Downtown to help kick off the November First Friday shopping event, “Giving Thanks.” The event will kick off the holiday punch card campaign and span through the December First Friday. Punch Cards will be available at various downtown businesses. For every $100 a shopper spends downtown during this time, their name will be entered into a drawing for a gift basket containing donations from several downtown businesses. Many shops will be open until 8 PM or later offering great specials and deals.
 
“Small businesses are the backbone of what makes Cartersville unique,” said DDA Special Events Coordinator Hollie Duncan. “We encourage visitors and local shoppers alike to shop small during the holidays showing thanks to our local small businesses, and year round, because when you shop locally and support small businesses, that money re-circulates here. It doesn’t go out of state, and it doesn’t go overseas. It goes back into our community and supports local jobs and our local economy.”
 
For towns like Cartersville, small businesses continue to grow, and retail shops continue to be one of the driving forces of their economies. In the historic district of downtown Cartersville there are more than 60 antique, boutique, restaurants and specialty shops offering unique gifts, delightful meals and charming décor. “Be sure to visit Downtown Cartersville this holiday season for all your shopping needs and take advantage of the Holiday Punch Card Campaign, beginning on November First Friday!” continued Duncan.
