DDA hosts virtual shopping event

ALPENA, Mich. — The Alpena Downtown Development Authority is working with local merchants to host a virtual shopping event which right on time for the holiday season.

Each merchant will go live on their Facebook page for 15 minutes to showcase and sell their products.  The goal of the virtual shopping event is to connect local merchants with customers but to also get a little holiday shopping in.

DDA Marketing and Outreach Coordinator Kingsli Kraft said they hosted a virtual shopping event this past spring and received nothing but positive feedback from the merchants and the community.

Kraft said even after COVID-19 is over, they plan to still have events like this.

The event will be held on Wednesday, November 18, beginning at 4:30 p.m.
