A seemingly good example is the Midnight Madness Fundraiser event being put on by several of the merchants in Manchester next weekend. The event, designed to spur late-night shopping and donate to a local charity or community group, was thrown together just this month by two local merchants: Steven Hahne of MacLennan's Nursery, and Nichole Fisher, owner of Nichole's Emporium, which opened earlier this year.
Hahne said the ideas for it just came within minutes of the two of them discussing, and out of it a seemingly fun idea was born.
Janet Larson, the president of the Manchester Area Chamber of Commerce, said the talks for it happened at an evening chamber networking party. It's amazing what can happen with just a few minutes of small talk at a business-related function.
If you're planning on shopping that night and you have your camera, we'd love to publish any photos we receive from the evening (unfortunately, I have that day off, and won't be able to make it). If you have any, feel free to send me an email at dveselenak@heritage.com.
And be sure to spread the word of the event. We're doing our part, with the flyer posted on our front door at our downtown Saline office:
