I’ve been going sort of bananas posting about Activated Spaces here. I’d like to deviate but I’ve been pretty absorbed which has been great for me but may be a wee much for the blog. So for the finale (for now) of my coverage on the pop-up shop project I have this to share:
DOWNTOWN DAYTON POP-UP SHOPS TO HOST OPEN HOUSES FRIDAY, DEC. 2 [TODAY!!]
Mayor Gary Leitzell will help raise money for Activated Spaces during event, part of the First Friday Scavenger Hunt.
City of Dayton Mayor Gary Leitzell will help raise funds for Activated Spaces’ Pop-Up Project by having his nails painted at 8 p.m. Friday, Dec. 2, at Beaute Box, 116 W. Fifth St.
The more money that’s raised prior to the event, the crazier the color will be. Click here to donate online via PayPal.
Proceeds from the fundraiser will help future local business owners get a head start in their entrepreneurial experience through the Pop-Up Project, which supports incoming tenants offset the costs associated with launching their downtown business. Beaute Box is one of three downtown businesses that opened Friday, Nov. 25, as part of the pilot Pop-Up Project. All three of the new businesses will host open houses starting at 4 p.m. in conjunction with the Dec. 2 First Friday. The businesses are: Peace on Fifth, 519 E. Fifth St., sells fair trade, slave-free and eco-friendly merchandise; Beaute Box, 116 W. Fifth St., is a day spa providing nail care, waxing, eyelash extensions and makeup services; Comfort and Joy (open until 5 p.m. on Friday), 521-523 E. Fifth St., features baked goods, scented candles, crocheted items and other holiday gifts created by a collaboration of artists and crafters.
The open houses are some of the stops in the updayton First Friday Scavenger Hunt. Clue sheets will be available in First Friday Passports; click here for a list of participating locations or download clue sheets at updayton.com. Five stops are included on the Scavenger Hunt: Everyone who visits all five will be entered into a drawing for prizes at the Scavenger Hunt After Party, held from 8:30 to 10:30 p.m. at 110 W. Fifth St. (next to Beaute Box). Everyone who visits at least three stops and takes a picture of themselves with the item mentioned in the clue will be able to attend the party, which will feature Yuengling, wine, snacks, a live DJ and a photo booth.

You can’t go wrong ending with a party, amirite!?
