Tinsel Around Town highlights shopping in downtown O’Fallon

The O’Fallon-Shiloh Chamber of Commerce will take part in Tinsel Around Town on Saturday, Dec. 9, from noon to 4 p.m. in downtown O’Fallon. In addition to shops and restaurants offering specials and goodies, music will fill the air as the O’Fallon Township High School Madrigals roam First Street from noon to 2 p.m.

Just outside the Chamber office, 116 E. First St., you can pick up a hot cider and receive a complimentary professional photo taken by Studio 50 (digital copy only, no prints will be made).

Visitors who check-in at a downtown business on Facebook and post a public selfie or photo from inside the business while using the hashtag #TinselAroundTown will be entered to win a $100 gift card to the business where they checked in. Each mobile check-in qualifies for a separate entry into the drawing (four check-ins = four entries).

Santa will be in his hut at the end of East First Street and welcomes visitors from 12 to 4 p.m.
