“When I was recruited to organize this monthly event – the 3rd Thursday Block Parties in downtown Childersburg – the idea was to call attention to the growing number of businesses, a good time for the community with a purpose,” said Tom Roberts. “And this month it’s all getting bigger.”
New and existing businesses have two new neighbors, The Nevermore Bar & Grill along with Salon Paragon, both on 8th Avenue, across from another new entry, Another Level Cards. And a couple of other new Childersburg businesses are joining the big night as vendors.
“I talked with Felling Ranchy this morning, and they’ll be showing off their line-up of western fashion and consignment goods from their Highway 280 store. Hooked up with The Bargain Barn Liquidations to bring out some of their growing inventory from their amazing new store in the Piggly Wiggly Shopping Center – brand new goods at liquidation prices.”
Regular vendors will be joined by several farmers market favorites with farm fresh eggs and home-cooked breads and treats, plus lots more new arts and crafts vendors, and even a bouncy house for the kids. All the candidates for next week’s municipal election have been invited to either set up tents, or chat with visitors on their own.
“And, besides our downtown eateries – The Chicken Coop and Domino’s Pizza – we’re expecting a trio of food vendors, plus the Pelicans SnoBalls truck,” added Roberts. “Bring the family for a fun night out and experience all that downtown Childersburg, and beyond, has to offer!”
