Downtown Haddonfield put a new spin on an old favorite by premiering First Thursdays on June 5.
First Thursdays replace First Fridays, and each will present its own unique theme. The June 5 First Thursday theme was a ‘One Stop Wedding Shop.’ Wedding-related retailers, invitations, bakeries, flower shops and many other unique vendors displayed their wedding wares in front of their stores; and Country Way Bridal, Jay West Bridal and Angel Bridal offered a sample dress sale. Clothing stores also displayed apparel for wedding-related events.
Live entertainment filled the air with music as the streets filled with shoppers browsing the displays, shops and an Artists Row filled with colorful art and photography displays.
Something totally new for First Thursdays and downtown was Customer Appreciation Rewards. This promotion allows all receipts for purchases made between 5 and 8 p.m. on First Thursdays to receive a 10 percent rebate on the total amount of money spent. The rebate is to be given in the form of a Haddonfield Gift Certificate, and all receipts must be redeemed within one week of the event (by June 12 for June First Thursday). The rebate is not to exceed $50 per person.
Additional First Thursdays are scheduled to take place on July 3 (Everything Red, White and Blue), August 7 (Sidewalk Sale) and September 4 (Back to School). Each will feature an exceptional mix of music, on-street artists, extraordinary dining and themed displays in many of Haddonfield’s unique, independently owned shops and boutiques.
