LAURINBURG — There’s still time to apply to be a vendor for the annual Christmas on Main event.
On Nov. 20 downtown Laurinburg will be the perfect place to get into the holiday spirit with various vendors, deals from local merchants and performances.
“We’re accepting vendors until Nov. 14 for Christmas on Main,” said Downtown Development Coordinator Mary Allison Yancey. “We want this event to be as big as possible with as many vendors as possible, so if you have something you want to sell or know someone who might let them know to contact us.”
Yancey added the dance teams will go from 1 p.m. to around 3 p.m. with an exact schedule being announced closer to the event.
“We’re really excited about this event and continuing to grow it,” Yancey said. “The vendors will be out downtown from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. with carriage and trolley rides, ice skating and plenty more to do. To end the day there will be the tree lighting at 5 p.m. and we’re hoping for a good crowd to come out for that as well.”
Myra Stone will also be having pictures with Santa in her studio on Roper Street, she is already all booked out but will be taking walk-ins from 12 to 2 p.m., more information can be found on her Facebook page.
