MERRY SHOPPING AT NEW HOLIDAY EVENT
LAFAYETTE, LA (October 30, 2012) – Acadiana area gift-givers have a new event to make their holiday shopping “very merry”. That’s why its show directors chose to call the event Merry Marketplace.
Merry Marketplace is a new holiday shopping venue planned for Friday, December 7, 2012 from 9 am to 6 pm at Top Shelf Sports Arena, located at the intersection of Ambassador Caffery Parkway and Louisiana Highway 89. The new Merry Marketplace touts nearly 15,000 square feet of unique gift merchandise, from home décor, jewelry, clothing and fashion accessories to gourmet foods, men and boys’ gifts, children’s toys and more.
“Our merchants were selected for the quality and variety of their offerings” said Julie Greco, show director. “Our goal is to provide our shoppers with great selection and an eye-popping experience, full of holiday give-gifting options and show specials.”
For the price of admission, show attendees also have a chance at winning any one of forty valuable door prizes contributed by the show’s merchants, one awarded every twenty minutes throughout the show. A portion of the proceeds from the show will be contributed to The Children’s Shelters of Acadiana Youth, the show’s chosen philanthropy.
Admission tickets are $5 in advance and $7 at the door. Advance tickets may be purchased at Uniformity, located on Kaliste Saloom Road in Lafayette.
A limited number of merchant spaces are available. Interested merchants may find the merchant application on the show’s website, located at www.amerrymarketplace.com.
