Small Business Saturday – Forest Park Review

Kicking off the holiday shopping season, small businesses along Madison Street were bustling despite the chilly temperatures. As an incentive for “shopping small” in Forest Park, Laurie Kokenes and Christine Bernard from Forest Park Chamber, were stationed at Brown Cow Ice Cream Parlor from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. rewarding shoppers who brought in receipts with free $25 or $50 gift cards. 

To encourage local shopping, the Chamber is hosting a few more events throughout the holiday season, including the live windows of the Holiday Walk on Friday, Dec. 6; The Arts Alliance Makers’ Market on Dec. 15;and a generous Grinch on Madison who will be handing out surprise gift cards and posing for photos on Dec. 21.
