Black Friday and Small Business Saturday

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!  This is one busy week for everyone, stores included! One of the most exciting things I have to tell you about is there is a NEW  store in Downtown Panama City!  This new store is "Bees and Buttercups" gift shop located at 306 Harrison Avenue.  Bees and Buttercups is a cute shop with handmade gift items such as jewelry and pottery.  Their grand opening will be Tuesday night (tomorrow) from 5pm to 8pm.  For a sneak preview, you can visit www.beesandbuttercups.com.  Be sure to stop by and welcome them Downtown!

There are also some great Black Friday/Small Business Saturday sales happening!  No Regrets Stationery and Gifts is having a Black Friday Sale on Black Friday (of course) from 9am to 11am.  All of their in-store merchandise will be 50% off!  They have great children's books, collegiate wear, stationery, and more!

Estate Treasures will also be having a Black Friday/Small Business Saturday sale! They will be having a three day estate sale at their store (500 Harrison Avenue).  It is a combination of three family estates and most items in the store will be on sale as well.  You can find sales up to 50% off!  They will be open Friday 8am to 5pm, Saturday 8am to 4pm, and Sunday 12pm to 4pm.  Be sure to stop by and see what treasures you can find!

To help you wind down from all the Black Friday craziness, Millie's is hosting a Wine Tasting from 6pm to 8pm on Black Friday.  While you enjoy the tasting, you can enjoy the music of Martino and Tirado.  If you find a wine you like, you can purchase it by the glass or by the bottle!  All Millie's asks of you is to give a $5 donation to the Animal Rescue Center or Salvage Santa.  What a great way to give to a charity!

Also happening this Saturday is "Winterfest" from 4pm to 10pm.  Activities will include craft vendors, retail vendors, food vendors, a chili cook-off between the Downtown restaurants, a live band, and kids activities.  Be sure to bring your lawn chair to watch a collegiate football game on a 20' inflatable screen and to watch the Boat Parade of Lights, which should pass the Marina around 5:40pm.
