Tri Local Night with the OWLS


Saturday, June 6th is fast approaching and you won't want to miss out on the Tri Local Night with the OWLS. This will be a fun evening that merchants can really take advantage of. Merchants can have tables showcasing their merchandising for $10 a table, door prizes will be given out all night which will give merchants a spot light on their businesses, there will also be information handed out about the Tri Local effort and how others can get involved. We are also looking at a premium item to hand out as people arrive. If you are a local merchant and are interested in being the premier sponsor and having your name on that premiem item, let us know (248-1717). Hope to see you then!
