In a special hospitality event on Saturday, November 28, the public is invited to avoid the hustle and jostle and long lines, and visit Downtown where between 10am-4pm when many retailers will offer old fashioned hospitality, one on one customer service and unique goods versus mass produced items. Shop more than 25 shops with local art, hand-made jewelry, from-scratch baked goods and antiques that will be open with regular hours. See below for some of the Green Saturday Hospitality Highlights (free and open to the public).
