Subject: Halloween Hoopla Cancellation
The Siler City Merchants Association met Wednesday morning for their monthly meeting and the main item on the agenda was the Halloween Hoopla. With much regret, after a lengthy discussion it was decided to cancel the event this year due to low vendor participation. The first years were strong but there were no conflicts with other events in the area and the past few years it has competed with the long established Pittsboro Street Festival.After much discussion the group felt it was best to cancel the event and look into other possibilities for next year.
The Siler City Merchants Association would love to have input from the community on ideas for a festival to replace or reorganize this event for the future.
Future events coming up sponsored by the Siler City Merchants Association will be the next Cash Mob. This will be held on Friday, October 25th. The group will meet at 3:30 at Courtyard Cafe and then walk to the location where they will cash mob the business.
Everyone is welcom to join in and help support a locally owned business. For more infomation you can contact Pat at 919-742-4033
The Association will sponsor the Veterans Parade on November 9th at 10 AM in downtown Siler City. Anyone interested in the parade can contact Dee Dee at 919-663-3232.
