(Seguin) — Tis the season for shopping and spreading Christmas cheer. The magic and beauty of the season in Downtown Seguin continues with extended shopping hours from 4 to 8 pm today during Third Thursday. Everyone is invited to shop for last minute gifts for each person on your list. Each business will offer their very own sale, with some providing specialty drinks, gift wrapping stations, vendor pop-ups and photo backdrops to help you celebrate this Christmas season.
Stroll the festive streets of historic downtown Seguin and listen to Christmas music, view thousands of twinkling lights and storefront decorations, and fill your cravings with food trucks in Central Park. All these combined make this Christmas in Downtown Seguin the most magical time of the year!
And who knows, you may win a gift for yourself. For every purchase made, your name will be entered to win a gift basket full of Christmas goodies.
You’re So Crafty will be offering their Prize-Winning Dark Chocolate Cocoa and some snacks, along with walk-in crafting, painting pottery and canvas, and mosaic or glass fusing projects. Dana Hall, owner of You’re So Crafty, said “Get your gift cards, art supplies, crafting kits and more gift ideas for the artist or crafter on your list.”
Serenity Boutique will have great deals and two awesome vendor pop-ups. Funky Monkey will have Cindy Lou Hoo and the Grinch photo props, cookies and cider. The Shop at Design Associates will feature music and treats for you while you shop late. That’s not all, to find out what other businesses are doing this holiday, come out for yourself!
The Seguin Chamber of Commerce will also be hosting its monthly mixer from 5 to 7 p.m. located at 116 N. Camp Street. Maria Castilleja, membership coordinator for the Seguin Chamber of Commerce, said “Join us for this fun family event and enjoy networking, games, food and refreshments, door prizes which include gift cards from local businesses, and possibly a North Pole visitor.”
