Letter Hunt Prize Party! 🎉

Thank you to everyone who joined our Downtown Letter Hunt! From August 1st through October 5th, we had over 200 completed entries and 20 participating businesses. Thank you all for hunting with us. We hope that you and fun and found new places to shop in our beautiful historic downtown Main Street.

The drawing was originally scheduled for October 5th, and I want to thank you for your patience after I had to delay it while under the weather.

We received so many fabulous prizes from local businesses and residents that we’ve restructured the giveaway to allow:

✨ Luxe Friends Shopping Night Out ($450 value) as a separate prize
✨ Grand Prize Drawing
✨ 2nd Place Drawing, plus
✨3rd through 44th place winners

To make it a fun prize experience, we wanted as many people to win as possible. Here’s the plan: a live Letter Hunt Prize Party with all the prizes on display! 1st place picks three prizes, 2nd place picks two prizes, and then 3rd through 44th place each picks one gift from the prize table. Prizes go to the finalists selected from the entry forms, and each finalist gets to choose a prize they actually want.

If your name is listed below, you are a finalist and will win something. If you are not able to make the “live” giveaway, a prize will be selected for you when your name is drawn, for pick up at a later date.

📍 443 E. Main
🕠 October 27th at 5:30 PM

This will be a fun evening, so come share your Letter Hunt stories! Downtown businesses are welcome to attend, and the event is open to the public. Anyone is welcome in addition to our finalists.

I hope this gives our finalists enough time to plan to attend. We are excited to celebrate with you!
