Downtown businesses needed for Ladies’ Day Out

Retailers and eateries on June 17 will promote a Hollywood theme through in-store games, drawings for prizes, restaurant specials, live entertainment and fashion shows.

Women are invited to visit participating businesses all day and, between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m., enter in a drawing for a grand prize trip for two to Las Vegas, provided by Allegiant Air.

The first 250 shoppers will receive goodie bags full of coupons and free gifts.

The participation cost per business is $100 for Downtown Springfield Association members and $250 for nonmembers. Promotions for participating businesses include radio spots, in-store posters, in-store validation requirements and a map with business listings.

Interested businesses can fill out a registration form at the association’s Web site, www.downtownspringfieldassociation.com.
