The Clarion Area Chamber of Business and Industry invites the community to attend the first-ever Pop-Up Shop event from 3 to 8 p.m. Friday, Aug. 6, in downtown Clarion during the Clarion River Jam Bluegrass festival.
Twelve local businesses will be popping up in various Main Street storefronts.
Many organizations have come together to support local entrepreneurs by putting them in the spotlight.
Jarred Heuer from Clarion County Economic Development Corp. says, “Entrepreneurs are an invaluable piece of our local economy. It is important to create both the structure and space to spur entrepreneurship and creative innovation.
Featured along Main Street in Clarion all pop-up shops will represent entrepreneurial home-based, up-and-coming businesses like: Wild Rose Bakery, The Kroner Studio, Boost your BBQ, Joni’s Unique Boutique, locally rooted Bath and Body Products, Pine Springs Pottery, Hillary’s Glass, and Mosaics, Jane’s Blooms, Bling-N-Things jewelry, Propoint Media, Marie and Maeve, Splash of Color Designs and hipster home goods from Curated Swag.
This event is made possible by the collective efforts of the Clarion Chamber, C-93, Clarion United Way, Destination Clarion Downtown, Economic Development, Small Business Development, the Borough, and Clarion’s Blueprint Committee, demonstrating the power of partnership.
Join the fun for an afternoon of shopping and music that helps support the local business development and helps create a stronger Clarion.
