Shop Men’s Night Downtown 12-18
December 18, 2008
Downtown Traverse City Features Men’s Night Shopping
Every year Downtown Traverse City hosts a special evening for all the men. The stores are open late and offer specials for all those last minute shoppers. With live entertainment, fashion shows, free hors d’oeuvres and drinks, who wouldn’t want to be there. I know my husband and his friends make it their annual tradition.
My advice to the ladies…make a wish list at Miner’s North, drop him off at Right Brain Brewery for a little pre-shopping libation, and don’t wait up! Guys, have fun tonight, and bring a designated driver.
For more information about events in Downtown Traverse City check out the Events calendar on their website.
