Salina Downtown Executive Director Leslie Bishop shares holiday event information

On this episode of the King in the Community podcast, I visit with Salina Dowtown Inc. Executive Director, Leslie Bishop about the exciting holiday events taking place in Downtown Salina this Nov. and Dec. 

 

Upcoming Salina Downtown Holiday Events

• Holiday Open House Nov. 5  

  • Stores downtown will be open from 12:00 – 5:00 p.m. and you will be able to get a head start on your holiday shopping, or better yet, find something special for yourself.

    “According to the Huffington Post, spending $100 at a local business nets $68 in economic activity, compared to spending $100 at a big box retailer, which nets only $48 in local economic activity," Bishop said.
