The Batavia Woman’s Club is offering a chance for people to have fun with friends and family, support local downtown businesses and provide funds to assist those who need some help.
The Passport to Downtown Batavia shopping event takes place from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. July 26. Participating stores will provide “passport” holders with exclusive deals and treats, and all proceeds will buy food for local people needing help.
Shoppers can purchase their Passport to Downtown for $25, and will receive a route map and goody bag before taking a self-directed trip to 10 shops, which will each stamp the passports. From 2 to 3:30 p.m., a Final Destination party takes place with chances to win a shopping experience courtesy of the Batavia Chamber of Commerce or a grand prize raffle basket. The more shops participants visit, the greater their chances of winning.
Purchase a Passport to Downtown at the BWC website at bataviawomansclub.org, or at the Batavia Farmer’s Market community tent from 9 to 11 a.m. July 26. Purchase the Passport in advance due to limited space.
Qui Travel and Travel a Latte, both located in Batavia, along with the Batavia Woman’s Club, are sponsoring the Passport Shopping Trip. Thorabella’s Restaurant is hosting the Final Destination party.
