Get a jump on your holiday shopping this weekend during the first Ship Oxford Holiday Open House event on Sunday.
Presented by the Oxford-Lafayette County Chamber of Commerce, this new event will be held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday on the downtown Square and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. at various other stores around town.
“We want to offer an opportunity for our retailers to capture some Sunday shopping traffic, our restaurants to serve up some lunch and brunch, keep some of our out-of-town guests in town longer for some shopping, and kick off the Oxford holiday shopping season early,” said Pam Swain, senior vice president of the Chamber.
The Chamber will be set up a tent by City Hall, sharing Shop Oxford shopping bags, lists of shops that are open and hours, special giveaways, holiday music, hot chocolate, cookies and a kids’ holiday craft area.
Giveaways include a large Shop Oxford gift basket and a $250 gift certificate to SummerHouse.
