Shop locally 'till you drop tomorrow night
Businesses across St Arnaud will be open late tomorrow night to help you take that festive stress away with a shopping spree for the ages.

STRESSING about getting your Christmas shopping done?
Worried about buying something and it getting to you in time?
Why not shop local.
Businesses across St Arnaud will be open late tomorrow night to help you take that festive stress away with a shopping spree for the ages.
Like every other year, the shops around town will be open later than usual all in the name of helping the community and each other in a difficult time.
“It’s important now than ever to come together and support each other,” Betta Electical St Arnaud co-owner Nicole Amos said.
“We’re seeing more and more empty shops these days, and with the rise of online shopping now too, encouraging people to shop locally is the best way we know how.”
There will be plenty to choose from this week, with shops like Trendz on Napier, Russ Jewellers, Hen Picked Crafts, RamJac, La Coshon Rose and Cook’s Quality Meats and others all ready to welcome customers.
“There’s definitely going to be something for everyone,” Mrs Amos said. “We have a lot of great businesses in town who all offer something a little bit different.”
Everyone in town and beyond can shop until you drop tomorrow night from 5pm onwards.
