Jingle Bell Jaunt - thru November 30th

2010-11-12T18:34:00.000-08:00

The Downtown Augusta Alliance presents another entertaining way to explore downtown with the month-long game: Jingle Bell Jaunt. The event kicks off on First Friday, November 5th, and runs through November 30th.

It’s the easiest scavenger hunt you’ll ever play. Pick up a Jingle Bell Ring at any of the twenty-two participating boutiques, gift shops, art galleries and businesses. The Ring contains a business card from each shop a...nd a registration form (they’re free). Over the next three weeks, visit each shop in any desired order. Find the “hidden” jingle bell display in each shop and have a store employee validate (initial) the registration form. When the form is completely filled out, drop the card off at the last stop for an opportunity to win that “extra jingle” for your pocket.

On First Friday in December, two registration cards will be drawn and each will win a gift certificate package worth over $500. Registration cards must be validated in full in order to be eligible for the drawing. The real bonus is the Jingle Bell Ring of cards – a veritable directory of downtown shopping and many of which offer special deals, discounts and free gifts throughout November and December – just in time for holiday shopping.

“Last year we received 100 completed entries out of almost 700 rings given out,” said David Hutchison, DA2 Board President and owner of the Book Tavern. “Some of the bells were really tough to find, and others were right in front of my face but I still didn’t see them. We’ll try not to keep you looking for too long, though, because we want you to be successful.”

The 22 Jingle Bell Jaunt Stops are:

1) Art on Broad | 1028 Broad Street

2) Artistic Perceptions | 551 Broad Street

3) Augusta Canal Gift Shop | 1450 Greene Street

4) The Book Tavern | 1026 Broad Street

5) Brigan’s Land of Enchantment | 912 Broad Street

6) Costumes by Michele | 1125 Broad Street

7) Downtown Dental | 1162 Broad Street

9) Flowers Xpress | 1046 Broad Street

10) Garden City Organics | 1034 Broad Street

11) Health Central | 945 Broad Street

12) International Uniform | 1216 Broad Street

13) Modish Salon & Spa | 1018 Broad Street

14) Morris Museum Store | 1 Tenth Street

15) Oddfellows Art Gallery | 802 Ellis Street

16) Shoppe 31:30 | 910 Broad Street

17) Tire City Potters | 210 B Tenth Street

18) Urban Body Fitness | 1286 Broad Street

19) Vintage Ooollee | 1121 Broad Street

20) Augusta Visitor Info Center | 560 Reynolds Street

21) Whitehouse Antiques | 1010 Broad Street

22) Zimmerman Gallery | 1006 Broad Street

Jingle Bell Jaunt continues one part of the mission of d(a)2: to increase foot traffic downtown and engaging customers in fun, yet effective methods. This year, Westobou Festival joins d(a)2 in this effort as a primary sponsor of the Jingle Bell Jaunt – perfect timing to brand their new image (westoboufestival.com).

Hey Guys -
Sorry for the delay but we are finally moved to our new house in Olde Towne just a few blocks away from our old loft in downtown. We loved living downtown and will miss many things about it but as the Parade yesterday helped remind us we are not far away.

I apologize again this week for the delay - We are holding a

and i have not had the time to devote to searching for events
and blogging that i usually have due to getting ready for that.
I am already working on next weeks which will go out on thursday
so i will not be messaging the link to this one out to the whole group
on facebook but I hope you find it anyway.
thanks for supporting downtown

The year is 1963 and C.S. Lewis, the famous British author, is in the twilight years of his life.

Payne captures the essence of the man who created the Narnia Chronicles in an enthralling, laughter-filled and poignant performance....utterly captivating!

Commissioned largely by the Ellsworth Kelly Foundation and Dr. and Mrs. Edward J. Prostic, in honor and memory of their daughter Elizabeth Anne Prostic, Remember Me is the awe-inspiring performance dedicated to Elizabeth's unassailable spirit, her passion for life, and her love of Parsons Dance. In collaboration with the East Village Opera Company, Parsons Dance seamlessly braids David Parsons' contemporary choreography with re-imagined classical arias; in the modern re-telling of a tragic love story. Remember Me combines the unlikely union of rock music, classical opera, and contemporary dance into an ambitious theatrical experience. Back by popular demand, the cast of Remember Me is poised to enthrall Augusta one last time.

Downtown Restaurant Reviews: Roosters Beak, The Place on Broad, and Frog Hollow Tavern

2010-08-21T13:09:00.000-07:00

these reviews were emailed or posted as comments this week by readers:

Roosters Beak - 215 tenth

I just LOVE the Roosters Beak. The Thai taco this week was the best I've had there. The novelty ice creams just keep coming. Very creativly done. The bar staff is the best. They have a topshelf margarita that can't be beat anywhere in the city. DJ and Jonathan keep the kitchen cranking out new specials every week. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

The Place on Broad - 1135 broad

wife and I tried this a couple of weeks ago, pretty sure 1100 block of Broad St just across from 1102 and up a bit - anyway, very good food, we were there one of their very first afternoon/ evenings, before their grand opening - bar along one wall (no T.V.'s but I guess sometimes you do want a quiet evening w/ just the wife) this place reminds me a lot of Malia's in Aiken would definitely recommend it for a quiet date nite-type evening/meal staff was very friendly.

Frog Hollow Tavern - 1282 broad

just a note for everyone...try Frog Hollow Tavern and soon!!! 1200 block of Broad St just a bit up and across from Pizza Joint excellent atmosphere, very good food, reservations recommended because it is not very large although wife and I had no problem sitting in bar area yesterday (Fri 8/20) evening. I would recommend this establishment to anyone.

Note: If you visit a downtown restaurant, shop, bar, event etc. send in a review/comments and some pictures and they will probably get posted. You can email your reviews to vintage965@yahoo.com or message me on facebook www.facebook.com/claireriche

Thanks for Supporting Downtown Augusta!!!
