The flowers are in bloom, the trees’ leaves are maturing, the honey bees are waking up, and the streets of small town Antwerp are coming alive with activities for its residents. The businesses of Antwerp are ready for the Antwerp Chamber of Commerce’s first Grab Your Neighbor and Explore Your Downtown event of 2021 with A Taste of Antwerp. A Taste of Antwerp is set for Tuesday, June 8, 2021 in downtown Antwerp. Many of the local eateries encouraged to stay open until 6:30 and will be offering specials for everyone, as well as organizations, home-based businesses, and churches will be set up and have “cottage foods” or bake sale type foods available.
Need to do some home decor shopping at &Junque or order those flowers for that special someone at Petals & Vines? How about stopping for a cocktail with friends at Oasis Bar & Grill or grab a burger and fries at Root Beer Stand or grab a pizza from Papa Oley’s! Bowling is an excellent way to enjoy the fellowship of friends at Antwerp Alleys; and what about that new sub shop on the corner — Antwerp Sub & Grub has fresh deli meats and cheeses and their diner-like menu is ready for a nice hang out time. Antwerp Pharmacy & Antwerp Hardware have just what you need for personal care or that DIY project you’ve been working on. Your mower tire has a leak? Check out Riverside Tire just outside of town. And Pierce Automotive can get that car maintenance scheduled that you’ve been putting off … forever! Schedule that new do or cut and color with Small Town Bliss or Pam’s Prime Cut, and don’t forget — your tank is almost on empty, stop by Antwerp Pit Stop, Pop-n-Brew, or Antwerp G-Mart before going on home for the evening. Shopping local in small towns is what keeps the town alive. You are supporting your neighbor, your aunt, your long time school friend. A community is a group of people living together that share a common life. The 3/50 project was designed to exemplify this way of life. Antwerp Chamber’s 3/50 project has just gotten underway. Look for receipt buckets at some of the local businesses in Antwerp. Spend $150 per month at a minimum of 3 different Antwerp businesses; put your names and contact # on the backs of the receipts. Winners will be drawn each month and will receive $50 in Chamber Bucks. These Chamber Bucks can be spent just like cash at any Antwerp business that is a Chamber member. Keeping money in the community will make the village of Antwerp stronger to support its residents with development, maintenance, and expansion.
Put Grab Your Neighbor and Explore Your Downtown on your calendar — Tuesday, June 8, 2021. Be ready for A Taste of Antwerp!
