welcome to the Second annual
pink weekend
SoAsh Haberdash and Local Mercantile have partnered with Visit Ashland to bring the second annual Pink Weekend, encouraging everyone to shop local first this Christmas Season. We opened the event up to any locally owned business in Boyd and Greenup Counties, with the addition of pop up shops located in our retailers, at the Boyd County Public Library Central Park Branch, and the Festival of Trees and Trains Gift Shop. We are excited to have over 80 small businesses participating this year.
Don’t forget to shop local, make a big impact, and share your fun on social media with #AKYxRKY.
