>> What can you win?
The Grand Prize for 2012's Holiday Hop is $1,300 in shops' gift cards and certificates. Second ($650) and third prizes ($325) will also be awarded. The drawing will take place Saturday after all the Passports are turned in at six p.m. To be eligible, Passports must have each of the stores' stamps on them.
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! Plus - get your holiday shopping done - with fun!
>> How to shop-hop Smyrna's Holiday Hop?
1. Pick up a Smyrna Holiday Hop Passport. You can get a Passport from any of the 13 participating shops either 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 until six 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). The route is also below, if you want to plan in advance!
3. Start Hopping! Visit each of the stores between Friday, November 30th and Saturday, December 1st - - you can do it in one day, if you like. 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. And find perfect gift for everyone on your holiday shopping list.
4. Prepare to be charmed. When you visit each location, if you make purchases of at least $10, you'll get a special holiday 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 town - and to brag that you made it through the Holiday Hop in one piece! (Nest will be selling charm bracelets if you don't have one yet.)
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 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 6 pm on Saturday. If you finish early - great! - you can turn it in any time. (Note: McEntyre's closes at 5, so be sure to get your stamp from then before then!)
7. Hopefully, Win! The drawing from among completed Passports will happen Saturday night and you'll be called (be sure your contact info is correct!) that evening. Winners' names will be posted on this site as well.
Holiday Charms
Pick up a free holiday charm from each of the shops when you spend at least $10 with them. (Or you can buy the charms themselves for $3 each.) Collect them all - - or add them to your collection from last summer's Shop Hop! Nest will be selling bracelets, if you don't have your own already.___________
** You must be 16 to enter the Grand Prize drawings, but people of any age can enjoy "hopping"!
** One Passport per participant, please. Also, you must get it stamped in person and not before the Holiday Hop begins.
