Great Until 8! features voter registration booth

Main Street Thermopolis’ Great Until 8! monthly late shopping event takes place Saturday, October 8.  This second Saturday event spotlights the businesses in town who are staying open until 8 p.m. or later.  There’s something special about strolling around the Downtown Historic District on this busy weekend where one can browse, shop and visit with friends and neighbors at the same time.

Shoppers can win $100 in Chamber Bucks by entering a drawing. Bring your receipts from the participating businesses, with the date and time of purchase on them, to Discover Thermopolis (541 Broadway) by 8:15 p.m. Saturday.  The $100 in Chamber Bucks will be valid at the business with the winning receipt.  This is a win-win for both the shoppers and the businesses.

Great Until 8! just got greater. All receipts from the September, October and November late night shopping will be entered in a Big Drawing for $500 in Chamber Bucks on Shop Small Saturday, November 26.

Check the Main Street Thermopolis web site https://www.mainstreetthermopolis.org/  or FB page mainstreetthermopolis for more details on Great Until 8! as they become available.  Shoppers can pick up a map of the participating Great Until 8! businesses starting Tuesday, October 4 at Discover Thermopolis.

For other events going on in town the weekend of October 7-8, check the Independent Record and the Chamber of Commerce events calendar to make sure you don’t miss out on anything.  If you would like to volunteer to help out with Main Street Thermopolis activities, contact:  mainstreetthermopolis@gmail.com
