What’s the scoop with the promotions and raffle?

The more stores you visit the more chances you'll have to win one of these amazing baskets. We're also working with our distributors on additional prizes and giveaways that will make this event even more exciting than it already is!

Do I have to go to all 12 shops to be eligible for the raffle prizes? Why do I need a passport?

You can attend as many or as few shops as you like.  Just be sure to pick up your passport at your first shop or bring it with you (you can download it here) and drop it off at your last shop to be entered in the raffles.  Also, make sure to make sure you name, phone number, and email are clearly legible on the top of your passport.

Can you recommend any place to eat or find refreshments during the crawl?

The North Shore of Boston has a wealth of shops, restaurants, and more. Many shop owners have arranged deals and discounts with near by eateries. Make sure to check in with shop owners and they can direct you to places nearby.
