| Mark your calendar,
grab your wallet and lace up your shopping shoes, Founder’s Day 2012
is being held Sat. and Sun. , Oct. 6 - 7 in Downtown Collinsville. Merchants
are offering specials and sidewalk sales from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. As
part of the Chamber’s support of Turn Collinsville Pink, area restaurants
will have pink plate specials, the City is having a fill-the-boot campaign
and shoppers will have the first opportunity to purchase the 2012 City
of Hope t-shirt. Also in the works for Oct. 6 are activities and stories
for children on the Plaza.
“Our goal this
year was to highlight the area merchants. Homecoming is Friday night
prior and we knew there were quite a few Classes having reunions,”
said Susan Babbitt, event chairman. “We want those alumni, along
with everyone else, to take some time and revisit downtown; to see with
their own eyes how things have blossomed and to support their town.
We have seen fabulous growth in the diversity of our shops and today
you can find things in Collinsville that you can’t find anywhere
else in Oklahoma. Our Founders would be proud.”
Founder’s Day
weekend will culminate in an all - community hymn sing at 6 p.m. at
First Baptist Church, 1301 W. Main. Everyone is invited to attend.
