LA GRANGE, IL – Small businesses in the village of La Grange are partnering with the La Grange Business Association to host a season of events with a six-week campaign called 'Hometown Holiday' that encourages residents and visitors to shop in La Grange and celebrate with activities that bring people together.
"With a strong economy and the recent addition of several new businesses in La Grange, residents and visitors have a tremendous opportunity to support small and independent businesses by shopping throughout La Grange this holiday season," village of La Grange President Tom Livingston said in a release. "When you shop small, you get to know the store owners and team members; you are supporting their livelihoods and helping them fulfill their entrepreneurial dream."
La Grange merchants will offer a variety of experiential attractions in the Hometown Holiday campaign, the business association said. From taking classes on creating your own seasonal tablescape, to making one of a kind artwork, to mastering your perfect signature cocktail, you can experience it all.
The Hometown Holiday campaign provides an incentive for people to support small neighborhood businesses through the holidays and into the new year. The business association said shoppers are encouraged to spend $300 with a minimum of three merchants in the village of La Grange. The first 100 individuals to turn in original receipts ($20 minimum per receipt) totaling at least $300 will receive gift certificates valued at $50 to spend at participating LGBA businesses. Shoppers are encouraged to spend locally between Nov. 24 and Dec. 31.
And there is even more to do in the Village this holiday including:
