The Boys and Girls Clubs of the Arkansas River Valley and the volunteer committee of Mistletoe Market is making final plans for the eight annual Mistletoe Market, which is set for Friday, Nov. 6, and Saturday, Nov. 7, at the L.V. Williamson Boys & Girls Club in Russellville.
The holiday shopping event, which will last from 10 a.m.-7 p.m. Friday and 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday at 600 East 16th Street in Russellville, will offer an array of merchants’ gift items under one roof. Proceeds benefit the Boys and Girls Club of the Arkansas River Valley.
Gift items and merchandise will include art, beauty products, clothing, fall and holiday items, home décor, baby items, jewelry, toys, items for men, food and other gifts of all kinds. A $5 donation at the door is requested of all shoppers. The donation will entitle the individual to a two-day shopping pass for Friday and Saturday.
A special preview party will be held on Thursday, Nov. 5, from 6-8 p.m. Tickets for this event are available at $25 per person and include food, entertainment by Doyle Sanderson, live painting demonstrations by Sarah Keathley of the Lemley Art Guild and Lane McKinley of Paint with Lane and first chance at plenty of great shopping.
Tickets for the preview party are available at the Boys and Girls Club or from any committee member.
Individuals who spend $100 total from the Mistletoe Market merchants will qualify for the “Dash for Cash” $500 prize. This is only for a limited number of shoppers that turn in their receipts.
A raffle and silent auction will also be offered. Two raffle items, including a black & white diamond necklace and a $500 Visa gift card, will be given away on Saturday. Attendees will also have a chance to bid on over 50 silent auction items.
