The Mount Vernon-Lisbon Community Development Group (CDG) Retail Committee has announced two community-wide shopping events: Saturday, Nov. 8, and Saturday, Nov. 29. This year’s events feature a collectible Mount Vernon 2025 ornament, and you won’t want to miss the Mount Vernon Visitor’s Center, which has been transformed for the holidays.
Holiday Open House on Nov. 8
On Saturday, November 8, participating businesses will host their Holiday Open House during regular business hours. Each business will offer a special doorbuster, treat, or unique incentive to encourage shoppers to visit. While shopping, keep an eye out for a Mount Vernon 2025 ornament hidden in participating businesses. If you find one, bring it to the Visitor’s Center, 311 First Street, to receive a gift card to a local business.
Shoppers are also encouraged to stop by the Mount Vernon Visitor’s Center from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The Visitor’s Center will be beautifully decorated, featuring sneak peeks of what our local businesses have to offer.
Additionally, Mount Vernon Bank & Trust is once again supporting the community by sponsoring $1,000 in Community Cash giveaways. Starting at 9 a.m. in front of the bank, lucky shoppers will draw Community Cash and can win $5, $10, or $20. First-come, first-served.
Shop Small Saturday on Nov. 29
On Saturday, Nov. 29, participating businesses will be open from 8 AM-4 PM for Shop Small Saturday!
CDG Volunteers will welcome shoppers at the Mount Vernon Visitor’s Center at 311 First Street West. The first 50 shoppers who stop by will receive a swag bag filled with items sponsored by local businesses, including a collectible Mount Vernon 2025 ornament.
