Win tickets to A Shopping Spree!

This four-day shopping extravaganza showcases regional and national exhibitors offering the latest in fashion and home decor trends, unique gifts and holiday merchandise. It takes place Nov. 3 to Nov. 6 at the Raleigh Convention Center in downtown Raleigh. More than 11,000 people shopped the event last year!

Proceeds from A Shopping Spree! benefit the Junior League of Raleigh and its programs. Since 2000, the Junior League of Raleigh’s trained volunteers have donated more than $1.6 million and more than 206,000 volunteer hours to programs and projects that impact youth in the community such as SAFEchild, Brentwood Boys & Girls Club, StepUP Ministry, Helping Horse, Heritage Park Community Center and AventWest Childrens’ Mentoring.

You can purchase $10 tickets, which will allow you to shop anytime during the regular shopping hours. There also are several special ticketed events with special shopping times, including a preview gala on Nov. 2; early morning private shopping hours on Nov. 3; a Friday night fashion event on Nov. 4; and early morning shopping hours on Nov. 5.

I have six sets of four of the $10 tickets to give away. The lucky winners will be able to use the tickets to shop at any time during regular shopping hours.
