MERRY MERCHANT MUNCH!

Fri. 2pm-6pm, Sat. 11am-4pm

Stroll downtown to view the beautiful shops decked out in their holiday finery. Have a cup of hot cocoa and other tasty treats. On Friday, check out the entries into the annual Gingerbread House display in the First National Bank Alaska lobby. Judging will take place beginning at 11AM on Friday with prizes awarded to the top three entries in each category. Saturday continues with “The Munch” which officially opens at 2:00 PM, and goodies are available all over town! Kick off your Saturday morning between 9am and noon with Breakfast with Santa hosted by CCS Early Learning (Head Start). This year the event is being held at the VFW Post 9785 on Eagle River Road. Munching continues from 11am to 4pm on Saturday. This past year, 70 merchants hosted open houses during the Merry Merchant Munch. They invite you to stop by for some holiday cheer. Don’t be surprised to be “serenaded” by the Chugiak High School Swing Choir or the Eagle River High School Swing Choir somewhere along the way. They will be caroling throughout the business district both Friday & Saturday compliments of Matanuska Valley Federal Credit Union. How about prizes? Grab a Munch Map publicizing each of the participating locations and make a visit. If you make it to 30 of our merchants over the two-day event and have your Munch Passport “punched” (the map), and you will be eligible for great prizes! Turn in your completed maps at the Jitters on Saturday by 4pm. Prizes are donated by participating merchants.
