Join the Spring Retail Crawl Through Astoria This Weekend

From Friday, March 24 to Sunday, March 26 support your local small retail shops and join the Spring Retail Crawl! “We saw such amazing support from our community during Small Business Saturday that we wanted to keep the local love going,” says Nicole Panettieri, owner of The Brass Owl and organizer of this event. “Doing a Spring crawl gives us a chance to try some new things and thank the community for their continued local support.”

Like with the Small Business Saturday crawl, there’s a passport involved, as well as a big giveaway and goodie bags. Here’s how to participate in the Retail Crawl on this first weekend of Spring:

• Shop at any of the participating stores and have a passport signed (passports available at each store)
• Drop off your completed passport at The Brass Owl, Chateau Le Woof, The Geekery, Lavender Label, or Lockwood by 3/27
• If you shop at four or more stores you will get a goodie bag.
• If you shop at eight or more stores you will be entered in to win a grand prize of gift cards from all 17 stores, worth $480!
