LAUREL COUNTY, Ky. —
On Tuesday, Nov. 13, London Downtown is asking the public to start their gift hunting the right way with their “Shop Local Kick-Off” at the Members on Main luncheon at the London Community Center. The luncheon will begin at noon with an opportunity for prizes and coupons from local businesses.
Local merchants and businesses will be present, offering a sneak peak at their new merchandise and unique gift items available for purchase throughout the holidays.
“Don’t miss out on the opportunity to get a jumpstart on your holiday shopping,” said Chris Robinson, director of London Downtown.
The luncheon will be catered by Weaver’s Hot Dogs and the cost is $5 per person. In addition to the luncheon giveaways, London Downtown will recognize Chicken Invasion sponsors and present the United Way of Laurel County with a donation.
“Christmas is coming up. We are going to celebrate the fact we have a beautiful downtown, and part of that is to celebrate with local downtown merchants,” said Susan Hodges, president of London Downtown.

“We can shop locally, we can eat locally, spend locally and enjoy locally. Isn’t that great that we can do all of that right here?” Hodges said.
