How to shop-hop Smyrna
_________
>> What is a shop-hop?
A fun competition where local folks travel to each participating "Shop Hop" store, in order to be entered to win prizes, to be awarded at Smyrna's Anniversary Celebration Saturday night.
It's free and fun - and a great way to get to know your community small businesses (and receive freebies, discounts, and refreshments). You pick up a Shop Hop Passport at any of the eight participating stores.
Then "hop on over" to each of the stores, getting your Passport stamped at each location. You have from Friday morning til Saturday afternoon at five o'clock. Once your passport is stamped at each location, you turn it in at your last stop. Then it's entered to the competition to win prizes, including the Grand Prize, Second Prize and Third Prize.
Along the way, we hope you get to see and meet other contestants, get to know your friendly local businesses, and enjoy being part of Smyrna's anniversary celebration.

Participating stores
Your Shop Hop Passport will have a map route to follow and the addresses of each spot. You can visit them in whatever order you like, but you must visit each of the stores and get your passport stamped at every stop. The shops are:
Heart & Sole
the honeybee
Jonquil Sporting Goods
Love Street
Marshmallow Dream
McEntyre's Bakery
The Nest
Rev Coffee
Vickery Hardware
(Their addresses and more about them are below.)

What you can win
The Grand Prize for 2012's Shop Hop is $1,000 in shops' gift cards and certificates. Second ($500) and third prizes ($250) will also be awarded. The drawing will take place Saturday night during Smyrna's Anniversary Celebration downtown and will be announced that night!
Along the way, though, you also "win" just by visiting the shops - collect each of the fun "charms," get other freebies and discounts, and enjoy refreshments and conversation!

How to shop-hop Smyrna
1. Pick up a Smyrna Shop Hop Passport. You can get a Passport from any of the 9 participating shops on that Friday or Saturday. We give you two days to complete the "Hop!" You can pick up the passport in advance as well, but the official stamping is done on Friday and til five p.m. on Saturday.
2. Map out your route. Your passport will list the names and addresses of all the stores you must make it to, and will show a general route/map you might want to follow. You can visit the stores in any order you like - start anywhere (pick up your passport anywhere) and end any where (turn in your completed passport at any of the shops).
3. Start Hopping! Visit each of the stores between Friday, August 3rd and Saturday, August 4th - - you can do it in one day, if you think you can! At each shop, get your passport stamped with that store's special Passport Stamp. Purchases are not necessary. But while you're hopping, take time to look around, enjoy some refreshments, take advantage of freebies and discounts and get to know your other contestants and shop owners.
4. Prepare to be charmed When you visit each location, if you make purchases of at least $10, you'll get a special charm related to that shop! (You can also purchase the charm directly for $3.) Collect them all for a special Smyrna-specific charm bracelet and sport them around town to celebrate our anniversary - and to brag that you made it through the Shop Hop in one piece!
5. Fill up your Passport! To be entered to win any of the big prizes, your Passport needs to sport the stamp of each of the 9 shops.
6. Turn in your Passport! You can turn in your (completed!) passport at any of the locations. But it needs to be turned in by 5pm on Saturday. If you finish early - great! - you can turn it in any time. But the latest is 5 on Saturday, so it can be entered into that night's drawing at the Anniversary celebration.
