Many stores around Wrangell stayed open late last Saturday evening to participate in the annual Sip & Shop. Alicia Holder, with the chamber of commerce, said that the Sip & Shop was a fun way for people to go out and get some good deals while shopping, while also enjoying some wine. Participants would come to the downtown pavilion where they could purchase a ticket and wine glass. They would then go shopping around town while hanging out with friends and enjoying various games and food. After spending $50 at participating shops, they would then return to the downtown pavilion to enter their ticket into a raffle drawing for various prizes.
There were two raffle winners at the end of the evening. Juanita Courson won a print of a salmon, as well as some stickers. LaDonna Botsford won a rock carving of a salmon, a floral arrangement, and a gift certificate to the movie theater. Holder said that, all in all, it was a very successful event.
"We probably had around 40 shoppers and it seemed like everyone had a good time," she said.
The stores which participated in the Sip & Shop included 56 North, Alaska Waters Gift Shop, Lovey's, Groundswell, Magnolia Beauty Bar, Silver Liningz Boutique, The Compass Line, Wrangell Art Gallery and the Wrangell Museum.
