November 2013
Black Friday
Friday, November 29, 2013
Give thanks for the finest
shopping around. Black
Friday is the perfect
antidote to too much
turkey. Once you’ve found
that perfect gift, relax over a great lunch or
dinner on the patio. Enjoy the adventure as
you cross a few names off your holiday list.
We even have plans to add a little music to
your Black Friday. Heatwave Jazz & Show
Band will perform an energetic concert on
the Old Town La Quinta Event Lawn from
2:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. You won’t want to miss
the show this dynamic group of young, local
musicians puts on! www.heatwaveband.org
Small Business Saturday
Saturday, November 30, 2013
Small Business Saturday
means big savings. And a
lot of fun. We’ll reward
shoppers with a $20 gift
certificate for spending
$100 or more. Simply
bring your receipts totaling $100 or more to
The Wine Bar at Old Town. You’ll receive
a $20 gift certificate to use on a purchase
anytime in the next year at your favorite Old
Town shop, service or restaurant. How easy
is that? Even more, you’ll keep your dollars
where they build our community the most:
right here. Remember, your $100 must be
spent at Old Town shops and boutiques:
this doesn’t include purchases at that day’s
event, Art Under the Umbrellas. (Limit one
certificate awarded per person.)
Did you know? Small Business Saturday is
an initiative launched by American Express
that encourages Americans to support their
communities by spending holiday dollars
in small, local stores. For more information
