3-Day
Shopping Event
Those looking for special bargains and unique holiday gift
items will have the perfect opportunity during a 3-day shopping mart planned
for November 14-16, in Brownsville, Tenn. “Holiday in Haywood” will feature over
20 retail and specialty merchants all under one roof and offering a variety of
items perfect for your holiday gift giving. The event will take place at the
Wyatt-Duke National Guard Armory located at 221 Morgan Street.
“The response from retailers has been wonderful,” says
Monica Bivens, coordinator of the event. “And we are very confident in the
variety and quality of the items that will be available.”
Among the many items for sale will be collectibles, floral
arrangements, designer clothing and accessories, fabrics, home décor and
accessories, specialty sauces and homemade food items, woodcarvings and
hand-blown glass. There will also be a large selection of personalized gift
items available.
“Last year over 1,000 people came through the doors during
the three day event,” explains Bivens. “This year we’ve extended the hours to
allow even more time for shoppers to browse and make their selections.”
Doors will open Friday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday
from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m., and again on Sunday from 1-4 p.m., giving shoppers
plenty of time to make their choices. Santa will make a special appearance on
Saturday to give the children a chance to visit and have their picture taken.
All proceeds from Pictures with Santa will benefit the Carl Perkins Center for
the Prevention of Child Abuse.
“Holiday in Haywood” is sponsored by the Brownsville Business Association (BBA). For more information about the BBA visit: www.shopbrownsvilletn.com.
