Flake Out on Main Street December 15 – 22

Thursday, December 13th, 2012

Local businesses work together to support Food Bank & celebrate the holidays

Seasonal splendour, and the spirit of giving, has arrived on Main Street in Vancouver as merchants collaboratively celebrate the holidays with hospitality, exciting gift ideas and unique holiday displays. All this while also helping to collect food donations for the Greater Vancouver Food Bank.

Flake Out on Main Street involves close to 30 different businesses who are all creating their own twist on celebrating the holidays in their respective locations. Shoppers are invited to visit all the participating businesses and vote on their favourite holiday display from December 15 to December 22nd and be eligible to win one of three spectacular prize baskets (each worth around $350).

The draw will occur on December 22nd at Neptoon Records at 3:00pm (3561 Main Street). There will also be food boxes at each of the ballot locations for the Greater Vancouver Food Bank.
Each participating business has donated a gift certificate or small prize to be included in each of the baskets.

Look for those with blue and white Flake Out on Main Street balloons in their display. Ballots can also be found at participating businesses and at all the ballot box locations: Plush (4296 Main), Bohemia Gallery (3243 Main), Neptoon Records & CDs (3561 Main), Arts off Main (216 East 28th), and On the Fringe Hair Design (4166 Main).

Many businesses will also be open late, until 9pm, on Friday December 22nd to accommodate shoppers and celebrate the holidays.

Come and celebrate Main Street’s favourite holiday tradition and Flake Out on Main Street. Don’t forget to vote for your favourite display!

Project Figo Back at Plush on Main

Tuesday, October 30th, 2012
This Novem­ber marks Plush on Main’s  sec­ond annual Project Figo Fundraiser for the Make-A-Wish Foun­da­tion! The brain­child of local artist Clau­dia Segovia, Figo wish­ing dolls are here vis­it­ing us from a world of dreams and pos­si­bil­i­ties with the express pur­pose of help­ing to make our wishes become real­ity. Each Figo has a spe­cial pocket just for this pur­pose –you sim­ply write your wish down on a piece of paper, slide it into your Figo’s pocket, and then hug your Figo close to your heart until your wishcomes true!
This month, Plush is host­ing a giant Figo and invit­ing every­one to drop by, make a wish, and give the giant Figo a big bear hug. Come Decem­ber, Clau­dia will be post­ing the col­lected wishes on her blog, where you can also find last year’s (some­times touch­ing, some­times hilar­i­ous) wishes.
Plush is also donat­ing the pro­ceeds of all Novem­ber Figo sales to the Make-a-Wish Foun­da­tion, so if you’ve got some­body on your hol­i­day shop­ping list who could use one of these adorable lit­tle wish­ing dolls, this is the time to purchase one!
