Page 18 THE VILLADOM TIMES I • November 26, 2014 Shop Small this Saturday and keep downtown alive “Whether it’s for your morning coffee, that special gift or a night on the town, small businesses are there for you every day. Be there to support them when you Shop Small on Small Business Saturday, Nov. 29,” urges the Midland Park Chamber of Commerce, which is pro- moting the value of shopping locally. The Waldwick and Ho-Ho-Kus chambers of commerce are doing special promotions on that day as well. Headed by chamber activities chairman Lisa Plasse of From the Top Music Studio, the Midland Park Chamber is sponsoring a passport promotion to entice consum- ers to patronize local businesses. On the Saturday after Thanksgiving, each of the participating businesses is holding an open house at a designated hour when shop- pers may stop in to get their “passport” signed. A grand prize of $100 and other prizes will be awarded, selected from among those who turn in the completed “pass- ports.” Open houses are as follows (see page 9 of this edition for special offerings): 9 a.m.: Columbia Bank – 60 Godwin Ave.;10 a.m.: Crossfit Bison – 59 Greenwood Ave.; 11 a.m.: Bob Bush, State Farm Insurance – 637 Godwin Ave.; 12 p.m.: Pro- visions Home & Garden – 42 Central Ave.; 1 p.m.: Grand Ballroom Dance Studio – 85 Godwin Ave. (rear of Mid- land Park Shopping Center); 2 p.m.: Nuzzi Chiropractic Family & Sports Center – 12 Goffle Road; 3 p.m. - Bill’s Shoe Repair – 654 Godwin Ave.; 4 p.m.: From The Top Music Studio – 47 Prospect Street; Vintage Vibes: Located inside From The Top Music Studio; 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Family Hair Care – 222 Godwin Ave. Here’s how the passport works: 1. Shoppers please visit midlandparkchamber.com and print out the passport with a list of all businesses and times that they are hosting open houses, as well as businesses that are offering specials that day, or pick up a passport at the Midland Park Library or participating businesses. 2. Once you arrive at your location, get your passport stamped or initialed. 3. The finished form must be turned in at From The Top Music Studio between 4-5pm, the last stop of the day. We will have door prizes! 4. The drawing will be held at 5 p.m. The winner will receive a $100 gift card. The Shop Small program was launched by American Express in 2010 in an effort to bring attention to small businesses in our local communities. Anyone interested in knowing more may visit www.shopsmall.com to learn about the initiative. Using a credit card is not a require- ment to participate in the passport program, but AMEX card holders may register their cards on the AMEX web- site to receive additional special offers. Many Midland Park Chamber members are also par- ticipating in Cyber Monday, Dec. 1, with special offer- ings.
