What could be better than going holiday shopping through a whole
series of small, quaint stores full of wonderful and unusual items
laid out in elegant or charming displays? Wouldn’t it be great to
avoid the traffic and the crowds at big city stores? Imagine feeling
relaxed and unrushed, not jostled by other shoppers or fighting for
the last item of a slightly dubious deep discount that may or may not
be there when you finally make it through the line to the check out.
And then, with bags full of gifts that reflect the individual
personalities of the receivers, you can sit down for a delicious and
leisurely lunch at a peaceful restaurant with good food and attentive
servers? Is it just a dream? No! It’s Perquimans County!
We all know that the Saturday after Thanksgiving is dedicated to
“Shopping Small,” patronizing locally owned, neighborhood
businesses that bring income and employment to your home town and
home county. But, it doesn’t have to end there! Of course you
want the thrill and adventure of braving the crowded highways and
bustling malls of the metropolis at least once or twice during the
holiday season, but remember how calm and relaxed you felt on Small
Business Saturday? You don’t have to lose that feeling. Make
Shopping Small and showing your love for local business a holiday
shopping habit!
Come to Hertford in Perquimans County and sample the delights of The
Silver Fox of Hertford, Hertfordshire Antiques, Small Town Trendz,
Relax, Woodard’s Pharmacy (which has an amazing selection of toys
and other goodies), Hertford Bargain Center (one of the largest
collections of rare Depression glassware and other antique dishes in
the area), the Perquimans Arts League Gallery & Gift Shop,
Grandma’s Treasures and many other small, local businesses. Stop
for lunch at Brew2Rescue on Church Street or the 252 Grille on Berry
which also houses a whole collection of micro-shops offering the work
of local artisans.
Then, venture a lengthy 10 minutes down the road to Belvidere where
Layden’s County Store’s Christmas Shop is busy preparing gift
baskets heavy with smoked meats, Wisconsin cheese, old fashioned
candy & other wonders, for that difficult-to-please person on
your gift list. After Layden’s, stop by the tiny, quaint Red’s
just across the street or, just a little further, the Nicholson House
Gift Shop which is, handily, attached to the Tea Parlor which serves
a lovely county lunch or afternoon tea to refresh you during your
leisurely day of shopping.
Come to Perquimans County to Shop Small! Fill out your holiday gift
list with ease in an atmosphere of comfort and ease while promoting
local business! What could be better?
