Alton Main Street invites you to “3rd Thursdays”, a fun shopping event in Downtown Alton where retailers stay open late and offer all kinds of great specials & refreshments. Park once and ride the free shuttle from 5:00-8:00pm compliments of the Alton Regional Convention & Visitors Bureau.
Participants can pick up a passport at any of the 18 businesses, which they will get stamped along the way. Guests who visit every shop on the passport will be entered into the grand prize drawing for a $75 universal gift certificate to spend at any participating store.
This month’s theme is “Come Happy, Come Hungry, Come Ugly”, and features an ugly sweater contest to be held during the event. Wear your ugliest sweater and have your photo taken at Party on Broadway to enter, and the public will judge via online vote to determine the winner of a $25 gift certificate.
For added fun, the event will include a scavenger hunt – a photo album will be placed on the event’s facebook page (www.facebook.com/AltonThirdThursdays) showing items that have been donated by various shop owners; if you can find the item somewhere in the 18 shops it’s yours to keep for free!
You are encouraged to mark your calendars for the next 3rd Thursday on January 21st, and join us for this eagle-themed event titled “Soar on Broadway”. For more information please visit www.DowntownAlton.com
