Local shopping with Black Friday feels. Crowds and stress and waking up at dawn on Black Friday? No thanks! Why not choose to spend your hard-earned dollars to support your local small-business owners in our Valley instead? Plaid Friday is the relaxing and enjoyable alternative to the big box store “Black Friday” chaos.

Wear your plaid and visit with our local and independently owned businesses as we kick off the holiday season! Those donning plaid will be eligible for giveaways, discounts, and other fun activities throughout the day at participating locations!

There’s something for everyone on your list at one of our locally owned stores. From high-end jewelry, furniture, beer, wine, clothing and gifts, to restaurant gift cards, paper products and more, shop local and keep our Valley businesses alive and thriving!

Dinner in the Dark is an experiential event that challenges attendees to rethink the importance of vision in the food experience. Upon arrival, our staff will explain the concept and the dining process will be described in detail. Dinner consists of four courses paired with local wines. With the assistance of their table guides, our guests are blindfolded while food is brought out and enjoyed. Diners do not know the menu ahead of time, but courses are described by the chef after each course has been eaten, along with an ingredient card and image of the plate that was served. Each course incorporates a variety of scents and textures to provide a full sensory experience.
