MANISTIQUE, Mich. (WZMQ) – On Thursday, local businesses will participate in an annual Ladies Night celebration hosted by the Manistique Merchants.
From 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., shops and restaurants will offer sales, food samples, pop-ups, and other promotions. New this year, Toys for Schoolcraft County will have a large sled set up downtown to collect donations for area children.
For customers, Ladies Night kicks off the holiday shopping season. For businesses, the event provides a boost in traffic ahead of Small Business Saturday on November 28.
“[People] make plans with people from out of town, relatives, a group of friends,” said Bristol Snider, President of the Manistique Merchants and owner of The Mustard Seed. “There’s a lot of socializing in the stores. At our store, for example, we do food sampling and coffee sampling, so people can talk and have fun while they’re shopping.”
