Red Barn Mercantile is thrilled to announce its 17th annual Holiday Unveiling, a festive celebration marking the official start of the holiday shopping season. You are invited to join them and their sister stores Penny Post and Pippin Toy Co. on Thursday, Nov. 6 from 6 to 9 p.m. for an enchanting evening filled with seasonal splendor and cheerful surprises.
Customers will step into a winter wonderland full of their complete collection of holiday treasures. Eleven stunning Christmas trees adorned with shimmering ornaments will welcome guests, alongside an abundant selection of holiday décor and unique gift items perfect for everyone on their list.
"We can't wait to share the magic of the season with our community," Amy Rutherford, owner of Red Barn Mercantile, Penny Post and Pippin Toy Co. "This is our favorite night of the year, and we are so excited to show off what we created this year. It is something truly special."
Guests will enjoy an amazing grazing board from Vintage Views and delicious sweet treats from pastry chef - and flower farmer - Alex Mudry-Till of Quince Blossom Ridge while browsing a carefully curated collection of seasonal goods. Each attendee will receive a special custom party favor from local lettering artist Michele Hatty Fritz of Meant To Be Calligraphy, adding a personal touch to this memorable evening.
The celebration includes exclusive shopping discounts of 15% to 30% off throughout the event—the perfect opportunity to get a head start on holiday gift-giving while enjoying substantial savings. (Some exclusions do apply)
