Mothers Day promotion opens

Twenty West End businesses will have the opportunity to participate in a Mother’s Day promotion initiated by Fiona Stager at Avid Reader. The promotion was a huge success last year, encouraging local shoppers not just to buy for Mother’s Day but to buy locally.

The promotion will give residents who shop at participating stores the chance to enter into the draw for a $2,000 Mother’s Day prize. Each store will put a $100 voucher into the pool and contribute another $100 toward promoting the event.

Westender is offering some promotion for free as its contribution to the local business community that supports it and the West End Traders association will handle the administration. A number of businesses have already signed up, including Shay’s Shoes – What Mum doesn’t want shoes?
