Paducah’s Small Business Saturday offering giveaways on Nov. 27
The Paducah Chamber of Commerce is encouraging shopping local with Small Business Saturday Nov. 27, including a giveaway of $50 gift certificates to local Chamber-member eateries.
Customers age 12 and over need to pick up an entry passport card and then visit all nine of these local stores to get cards stamped: Bicentennial Library, Coffee on the Square, Country Creations Florist, Crossroads Nutrition, Get Dun Up Boutique, Mel Mel’s T-Shirt Shop, Nova’s Bakery, the Paducah Gin Store and Patches Quilts. There is no purchase necessary to enter the giveaway or get a stamp, but merchants hope shoppers will take time to look around and patronize these businesses.
All of these businesses will be open for this activity from 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday for your shopping needs, with some opening earlier.
Entry cards can be picked up at Mel-Mel’s, Get Dun Up and the library. Some stores will be holding their own door prize giveaways and sales.
Only cards stamped by all nine participating businesses are eligible for entry in the giveaway. All completed entry cards must be turned in by 5:30 p.m. to a hopper located outside the downtown library. The winners will be announced at 5:45 p.m. and entrants MUST be present to win.
There will be seven winners of $50 gift certificates from the chamber to local eateries: B.O.B. BBQ, Buck Creek Meats, Coffee on the Square, Double G’s Restaurant, Dixie Maid Drive-In, Nana’s Mexican Cafe and Nova’s Bakery.
Paducah’s Chamber Small Business Saturday’s activities Nov. 27 will include an 18-wheeler arriving depicting the Nativity on all sides of the trailer and parked in the south side of the courthouse square after lunch. One side will open up to a stage for caroling from 5 to 6 p.m. All are invited to sing and play.
Santa Claus is then scheduled to fly into the airport, with the Paducah Volunteer Fire Department bringing him to the square at 6 p.m., where Santa will visit with kids inside the library.
The Chamber will introduce the new Nativity and Courthouse Lights at dark.

MOTLEY
Christmas in Matador set for Thursday, Dec. 2
MATADOR--Late Night Shopping has long been a holiday tradition in downtown Matador, and this year it’s back to Thursday night in a somewhat different format. According to Stacye Melton with the Better Than a Biscuit, local retailers will be remaining open late hours on Thursday, Dec. 2.
At the Motley County Public Library, the annual Christmas at the Library event will return after last year’s cancellation. “The Library was unable to host the annual event last year due to Covid restrictions” following state-mandated library closures, said librarian Carla Meador, who had also personally suffered from a case of Covid-19 during the year.
“We are happy to get things back on track this year.” The library will host two special guests that Thursday evening from 5 to 8 p.m. “The Grinch has agreed to come to Matador,” said Meador—bringing along Cindy Lou Who from the Dr. Seuss book, “How the Grinch Stole Christmas.” The pair of characters will visit and take pictures with kids of all ages.
