It’s been a year since Main Street Florist and Gifts took on a fresh new look under owners Sarah LoBue and Carmen Reiher. In an effort to thank the continuing support of customers and the community, Main Street Florist will be hosting a Free Flower Event.
“We will be handing out free flowers to anyone that brings in a donation for the Carlinville Catholic Charities Harvest Food Pantry or Macoupin T.A.I.L.S. Organization,” said co-owner Sarah LoBue. “We are excited about the opportunity to give back to the community and we hope to make this an annual event.”
The Free Flower Event will be held on Saturday, September 3rd from 9am-3pm and will feature giveaways, exclusive discounts, t-shirts, food and drinks, balloons and much more. Main Street Florist will be collecting items for both charities throughout the day. Suggested items for the Harvest Food Pantry include pop-top canned goods, cereal, bread, peanut butter and jelly, and hygiene items. Macoupin T.A.I.L.S. is in need of cleaning supplies, dry dog/cat food, canned puppy/kitten food, kitty litter, collars, leashes, old towels and newspapers.
“The purpose of the Free Flower Event is not only to celebrate our first year at Main Street Florist, but also to allow us to thank our customers for their past and future patronage of the store,” added co-owner Carmen Reiher.
Main Street Florist and Gifts is located at 240 East Side Square in Carlinville and has regular business hours of 9am to 5pm on Monday-Friday and 9am to 2pm on Saturday. If you have any questions about the event or would like more information, you can contact Main Street Florist at 217.854.8224.
