Mount Vernon held its first of two Shop Small Saturdays in uptown Mount Vernon Saturday, Nov. 6, in uptown Mount Vernon.
Mount Vernon-Lisbon Community Development Group director Joe Jennison said that the weekend had good attendance, and he said he expects that the second Shop Small Saturday slated for Saturday, Nov. 27, to be even larger.
Raffles were held every hour during the event, and many uptown businesses in Mount Vernon and Lisbon were holding either sales or holiday open houses to participate in the weekend. It was also the first weekend for the first weekend of the Mount Vernon indoor farmer’s market at the First Street Community Center in uptown Mount Vernon.
Lisbon’s Laurie Maher provided live holiday music at The Local Saturday afternoon during the Shop Small Saturday and The Local’s holiday open house.
