Join Madison Valley businesses for an extended happy hour and evening of holiday shopping tonight (Wednesday) from 5:30-7 p.m.

The action will mostly be on Madison between 27th and City People’s Garden Store.

In other Madison Valley news, have you seen the new Community Council/Merchants Association website?

More details on the happy hour from the Madison Valley Community Council:

To encourage us to get out, support our local businesses, and meet and greet with one another, Madison Valley merchants are sponsoring a special extended-shopping event tonight, 5:00 to 7:30 pm, with many businesses offering special sales and “festive treats” to those who partake. Among those participating is Seattle Fast Frame, which is offering shoppers “hot drinks and nibbles” during the event. River Song Jewelry, Bass Art Gallery, Veritables, Vian Hunter Fashion are all participating.

Restaurants in the Valley, meanwhile, will be extending their Happy Hours to 7:30 for the occasion.

You’ll find me at the Cafe Flora bar around 7:00. Stop in, have a drink, say hi.

In addition, several Madison Valley merchants are open special holiday hours or are running specials throughout the holiday shopping season. For example, Kate’s Day Spa is offering a free steam bath to area residents who purchase a gift certificate valued at $40 of more, and City People’s Garden Store (which has a special selection of holiday plants and gifts, as well as Christmas trees) has extended its evening hours (6-8 pm, weekdays).
