On Friday December 11, from 5pm to 9pm, South District Councilmember Christopher P. Scanlon, South Buffalo C.R.E.W. (Concerned Residents Engaged in Work) and South Buffalo Alive will host the 3rd Annual Shop South Buffalo. One of the things that makes this event so special is the highly anticipated kick off, which is held at the Buffalo Irish Center (245 Abbott Rd) at 5:00pm. The event features live music by the Mount Mercy Academy’s show choir and Pure Magic. The party sets the tempo for the splendid night of shopping ahead, with nearly 40 businesses participating in the shopping festivities.
“We are thrilled to be part of Shop South Buffalo 2015,” said Jill McMahon, who is co-owner of Queen City Cycling with her husband Paul. “As a brand new business in the area, this will be a wonderful opportunity for us to introduce ourselves and our business to new customers. Having participated in this event as customers in the past, we are excited to be on the other side of things this year.”
The shopping event included a complimentary shuttle service, which will take shoppers to all destinations on the route. Santa will be making special appearances at various locations. A Business Decorating Contest will be underway during the event. At the end of the night, a wrap-up event will be held at the New Doc Sullivan’s (474 Abbott Rd.), with live music, a raffle, and an announcement of the winner of the Best Decorated Business (10pm).
“Shop South Buffalo is an amazing opportunity for people to get their holiday shopping done while supporting our local, small business community,” said Scanlon. “We’re excited to announce that now in its third year, the event is larger than ever with approximately 40 participating businesses. We look forward to seeing the streets of South Buffalo filled with shoppers.”
