Treasure Hunt!

Yesterday the store was closed, but I went to a meeting in the morning with a group of women who all own businesses in Manlius. They invited me to be part of a super cool event taking place on June 28, called "Discover the Treasures of Manlius". On the morning of the 28th, people will meet at CLIC (Community Learning and Information Center) at 122 East Seneca St in Manlius to get a map and a ribbon. When they visit the stores on the "treasure hunt", they'll recive a business card to attach to the ribbon and a little gift. (It's the same day that Denise of Whirled Peas will be at the store. She's a lamp-worker extraordinaire, so....spoiler alert!!!... I'll likely be giving out lamp-worked beads!) At the end of the day, shoppers can bring their ribbon and business cards back to CLIC. The business cards are essentially raffle tickets, and each shop will have an item that shoppers can enter the raffle to win...I'm not sure yet what I'll be raffling off. But I was so happy to meet such a motivated and talented group of WOMEN business owners! It couldn't have come at a better time for a young woman just starting out with her own business. At the very least, it is a wonderful group to network with, and at the very best, it will bring a lot of commerce to Manlius! For more info on the event, call CLIC at 315-682-4200. You can also call or stop by the store. You couldn't pick a better day to explore Manlius!
