💜 Well, we survived our first Witchy Walk!! 🧙♀️😂
Now that I’ve had a minute to recover from yesterday, I want to say a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who came out for our North Belle Vernon Bewitched Sip & Shop!
Seeing Broad Avenue filled with people shopping, exploring, and enjoying themselves was exactly what we had hoped for!
But you know what made me the happiest?
I can’t tell you how many times I heard, “I didn’t even know this store was here!”
THAT RIGHT THERE was the whole reason behind all of this! ❤️
We have some amazing little businesses right here in our town, and hopefully a few more people know about them now!
I also have some special thank-yous because this definitely took a village!
💜 All of our wonderful vendors — Thank you for spending your Saturday with us and adding so much to the day! We hope you’ll join us again next year!
💜 Belle Vernon Fire Company — Thank you for letting us use your tables! Your generosity is truly appreciated!
💜 Christine Bacco Augustine — Thank you for helping with our shirts on such short notice! You were a lifesaver!
💜 My amazing Willow Collective girls, Aileen, Haley and McKenzie — Thank you for holding down the fort while I ran around taking care of a million little things!
💜 My Broad Avenue business friends — Thank you for jumping on board and coming along on this crazy journey with me! I’m so grateful for each of you.
💜 Anthony Mavrikes and Ryan Curcio — Thank you for taking on Witchy Wagon duty, shuttling everyone around, and saving a few tired feet! You guys were awesome! 😂
💜 My daughters, Mikayla Madeline and Camryn Slate — Thank you for helping with absolutely EVERYTHING! I couldn’t have done it without you two!
💜 And last, but certainly not least, my husband, Phil — Thank you for all of your help and for always supporting my crazy endeavors, even when you’re probably wondering what I’ve gotten myself into this time! 😂❤️
Was everything perfect? Absolutely not! We had a few hiccups and learned some lessons. We’ll do our best to work out the kinks and make next year even bigger and better!
But here’s what I really hope everyone takes away from yesterday…
Don’t let the Witchy Walk be the only day you visit Broad Avenue! 💜
Come back. Bring a friend. Stop into a shop you’ve never visited. Tell someone about a business you discovered. Share their Facebook posts. Shop local whenever you can.
These businesses are owned by real people who put their hearts into what they do, and your continued support means everything.
And now I want to see YOUR pictures! 📸🧙♀️
Share your pictures in the comments! Whether it’s your witchy outfits, favorite finds, or just everyone having a good time, I’d love to see them!
And while you’re at it, tell us if you discovered a business you didn’t know was here! Let’s keep spreading the word!
🧙♀️ One last thing! We will be posting winning numbers and reaching out to our winners to make arrangements a little later today!
From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU to everyone who participated, helped, and showed up!
💜 Here’s to North Belle Vernon and what I hope is the beginning of a wonderful new tradition! 🧙♀️
