The Holiday Cookie Crawl is good, old-fashioned, holiday family fun while shopping and exploring Staunton’s West End.
Life will be sweet on Friday, when the Staunton West End Business Association hosts a Cookie Crawl and Gift Basket Giveaway throughout the up and coming West End.
Anyone and everyone, the tall & the small, are encouraged to participate in the Crawl. Enter to win the baskets stuffed with prizes from businesses, restaurants, theatres and artists in and around the West End of Staunton.
“What’s more fun than free cookies, cocoa and contests while shopping local?” Kirsten Schneider, Staunton West End Business Association (SWEBA) board member and Art Hive co-founder said. “SWEBA and local businesses are thrilled to sponsor this new event and honestly we are kind of bummed we can’t enter – the prizes are beyond fabulous.”
The Crawl will begin at Art Hive, 835 Springhill Road, where participants will receive a cookie tin, their first cookie and a map. Then stop by at least four more businesses on the list and collect a cookie from each. Christkindlmarkt at Queen City Brewing will have a European-style craft market, entertainment and food to go along with their seasonal craft brew on Friday and Saturday.
Participants can stop crawling with tins full of cookies or go for what’s behind door No. 2: cookies and a chance to win a cornucopia of prizes.
Two easy ways to enter:
Bring by Art Hive: show them your cookies (ok, tags from the cookies) and fill out an entry form. Or, use the QR CODE on the cookie tin label. Take a picture of your cookies or tags and follow the QR Code to the entry form.
Bonus: Participants who wear an ugly Christmas sweater to Art Hive will receive a coupon and an extra entry.
