Attention Downtown Businesses!
Again this year, the Chamber will sponsor Tinsel Around Town on December 8 th , noon – 4 p.m. The purpose of Tinsel Around Town is to get people into downtown, stay downtown, and shop downtown.  We will again have music up and down First Street, fire pits, and more!
 
We want to tie the Festival of Trees with Tinsel Around Town. For anyone who visits the Festival of Trees (Nov 17 th – Nov 25 th ) at O’Fallon Station, they will receive a booklet with whatever specials downtown businesses want to advertise.
 
Do you have a special you’d like to advertise? Your special could be for the holiday season or just for Dec 8 th (Tinsel Around Town Day). It could be a buy a dozen-get one free, get 10% off, have a warm cider in our store, whatever you’d like to do. 
 
Please respond back to this email with the details of your discount/specials if you’d like to be included in the promotional material being distributed to visitors during upcoming holiday events.
