Following the CD Release Celebration and Show on Nov. 27, Single copies of "Rhythms-HOLiDAZZLE" will be available for purchase for $15 from a variety of Downtown retailers. They make great stocking stuffers. Retailers or employers may buy in quantity for $10 each. Consider them for employee holiday gifts or hotel guests. Call 375.5067 for details. |
New retailers bring more diversity to Downtown: The west side of the 1000 block of Main welcomed three new merchants this month. Check out Papa Wheelies bike shop, The Beehive gifts and High Desert Bakery.
Fact: Specialty shops, local owner/operators and customer service are the top attributes that separate downtowns from outlying mall shopping. |
