In 2010, American Express founded Small Business Saturday to help businesses with their most pressing need — getting more customers. The day encourages people to shop at small businesses on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, during one of the busiest shopping periods of the year. The single day has grown into a powerful movement, and more people are taking part than ever before. This year, the big day is Saturday, November 29th.
To help celebrate the day, Main Street Greenville has created a schedule full of fun activities for shoppers to enjoy when visiting and supporting downtown businesses. Sponsored by Second National Bank, the day includes the following:
- Shop and dine at participating businesses to be entered into our Win the Window Conest! (see ad on page ??)
- FREE Horse Carriage Rides downtown Greenville from 11 am - 3 pm
- FREE Family Photo by Brittany Carol Photography from 2-4 pm on the steps of the Darke County Courthouse.
- FREE Gift Wrapping at Readmore's Hallmark from 10 am - 6:30 pm
- FREE Balloons for the Kids!
- The first 250 shoppers who visit Main Street Greenville's office at the NEW Darke County Welcome Center and show us their receipts, will receive a Shop Small Canvas Bag! (421 S. Broadway)
- After shopping, visit Main Street Greenville's office for the opportunity to WIN even more prizes! (421 S. Broadway)
- Visit with Santa at The Coffee Pot from 1-3 pm
