The first White Lake Area Cookie Crawl will take place this Saturday, Dec. 16, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Registration for the event closed Dec. 8.
Participants will receive a cookie tin that morning from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. at the Chamber offices, as well as a cookie to get started and a list of participating businesses, and will be able to go to as many of those businesses as they like to collect a cookie from each one.
White Lake Area Chamber of Commerce director of events Stephanie Ware said a local business that had been part of Cookie Crawls before approached the Chamber with the idea.
“We’re excited,” Ware said. “The timing of it is good. So many people have last-minute holiday shopping, so it’s a good time to go into our local businesses, support small and see what they have to offer, so they don’t have to order online.”
Ware added that registration was already close to half full just a couple of days after it opened in November. The event was limited to 100 registrants.
“If we have 15-20 businesses participating, of those 100 (people), it’s almost a guarantee they’ll go into places they’ve never been before,” Ware said. “A few of the businesses will offer special deals for people who are participating.”
