Planning a Saturday, July 4, 2009, shopping event in St. Francisville called Main Street’s Poppin’.
Here are the details:
Participating shops will fly an American Flag, have a sidewalk sale, and participate in the Shopping Flag Pull. The Flag Pull works like this: Each participating store will be given 10 flags. At the time of purchase pull a flag to see what you win, each store will have a flag worth 5%, 10% or 15% off your purchase the other flags are for a special gift. Sale items are excluded from the Flag Pull.
Other daytime activities: The Annual Pie Baking Contest to benefit the Freyhan Foundation. If you want to enter a pie it must be delivered to the Birdman by 12:30pm with judging at 1pm. The pies will be sold following the judging with all proceeds going to the foundation to help restore the Julius Freyhan School Project. Also at the Birdman between 3pm and 5pm a new artist exhibit ‘Birds” by the artists from the Charter Street Studio.
Hot Dogs, Drinks, music and fireworks will be Poppin at the Town Ball Park on Burnett Road.
As night falls the Laughing Lizards will play patriotic music banjo style, the American Legion will have food and drinks and the town will provide a fabulous fireworks show.
