Shopping ‘Small’ Supports Indie Businesses in Our Community!

         We’d like to remind you about “Shop Small Saturday” tomorrow, which really should be called “Shop Indie Saturday,” since you’re supporting independent businesses in our community.
           
           Shops and businesses along The Avenue go above and beyond what "big box" chains offer -- unique gifts you won't find anywhere else and thorough customer service to meet your every need.
             And while we’re at it, don’t limit that support to just one day a year; shop indie first when you can and you’ll infuse much-needed income into your neighborhood.
            Glendora Village “Shop Small Saturday” participating businesses were listed in last Monday’s “Word on the Avenue” blog. Visit them first; many are offering discounts.

Big Time Holiday Spirit, Part 1!

             Take a fun break from “Shop Small Saturday” shopping tomorrow with a Carriage Ride Along the Avenue from 3-7 p.m., and enjoying Christmas carols sung by costumed Dickens Carolers.

           Parents can take family pictures with Santa Claus on Saturdays, Dec. 7, 14 and 21, while also enjoying rides in a horse-drawn carriage and live Christmas music.
            Students from SINC INC will perform Dec. 7 and on Dec. 21, Keener Music Studio students will perform Saturday, Dec. 14; all performances will be from 3-4:30 p.m.
            Photos with Santa can be taken from 5-7 p.m. and Carriage Rides Along the Avenue will be from 3-7 p.m.

Perfect for Any Holiday Party

 
            These shiny red Mary Jane Pumps from Jessica Simpson can be found at Da Avére, along with the party-ready Polka Dot bag from My Flat In London. Drop by the shop to see other gifting-worthy fashion essentials!

            We just love this photo album of last week’s Holiday Stroll posted by L’Image Photography on its Facebook page. When you need a dose of holiday cheer, just click on this. And thank you to Glendora Florist owner Dalel Snider for having L’Image capture the event.
            Photos with Santa taken during the Holiday Stroll are available through the City of Glendora. Learn more about it through this Flickr page.
