By admin
Published: Sunday, July 26th, 2009
Kersting Court will come alive each Friday from July 17th through August 28th, with the sounds of live entertainment.
Hoping to encourage shopping in Sierra Madre’s downtown, the Chamber of Commerce has booked musical acts to perform in the downtown area from 6:30 to 9 p.m. for the last few weeks of July and all of August.
Depending on the response,the concert series may be extended through September 18th.
In addition to live music, downtown merchants will stay open late, there will be shopping promotions taking place, and some stores will participate in a sidewalk sale.
Shoppers that spend $35 in any one participating retail store or $75 in any one participating restaurant will receive a free tote bag of goodies valued in excess of $50, while supplies last. All tote bags will include a free Sierra Madre baseball cap and three Sierra Madre post cards donated by the Chamber.
Also donated by the Chamber in each tote bag will be a free pass to a Sierra Madre Chamber mixer, valued at $10/member, $15/non-members. The first 100 tote bags (at least) will include two Clubhouse passes to Santa Anita Park’s Oak Tree meeting.
Cornerstone Electric has donated fluorescent bulbs for the first 96 (and maybe more) tote bags. Many tote bags will include free ice cream scoops, donated by Sue Lamb of Webb-Martin (Dickson-Podley) Realtors. Each tote bag will include discount coupons for the Sierra Madre Farmer’s Market, as well as other discounts, information and items from other Chamber members.
Shoppers who spend $35/$75 will also be entered in drawings for prizes (tickets to Oak Tree at Santa Anita, tickets to the Sierra Madre Playhouse, dinner for two at local restaurants). Drawings will be held each week on Wednesday at the Sierra Madre Farmer’s Market from tickets entered the week before.
Information on Friday Night Live, including the entertainment schedule, and in some cases, sample music by the popular local performers can be found by visiting the Chamber’s dedicated Friday Night Live website, www.SMFridayNightLive.info.
