Here comes Christmas stuff, friends. The Buy in Brooklyn Campaign is unveiling its new “Park Slope Snowflake” campaign today that will involve two nights with local merchants staying open late, having sales and special events, all in an effort to get us to shop locally. Here are some details from the website, which has gone live this morning and GL got an exclusive advance look at it:

Local merchants once again throw open their doors to stay open late and create a holiday atmosphere, enabling you, the people of Park Slope, to do your holiday shopping . . . here! Each participating business will 1). Stay open until 10pm, and 2). Offer some special promotion – Could be a sale, could be a giveaway, raffle, carolers, snow machine (it’s been done!), mulled wine, special hors d’oeuvres, etc. etc. The listings of participants grows daily!!! Last year we had 150 participating businesses — who knows what will happen this year!?! In the current and impending economic climate, it’s more important than ever to keep our local economy strong and healthy, so let’s get together and Keep it Local!

Here’s hoping they have a successful event.
