Puttin' on the Glitz - Misteltoe & Kisses

Kissing bandits, strolling carolers, diamonds, rubies, Champagne, Santa and Mrs. Claus, merchants in holiday attire, decorated windows - the lights, the sounds and the spirit of the holidays abound in Keokuk during Puttin' on the Glitz.

The Keokuk Area Hospital Foundation is our charity partner of Glitz. Net proceeds from the sale of pouches will benefit the foundation's efforts. The KAH Foundation will promote Glitz through payroll inserts, posters and timely reminders leading up to December 4. KAH employees will be encouraged to shop participating businesses and prove it by getting a card punched at each store.

Special Features

• Two mystery, but appropruately handsome, "Kissing Bandits" will be visiting participating stores with Hersey's Kisses for customers.
• The City Council and Police Chief have approved the serving of Champagne and wine in participating businesses.
• Grand Prize - a Ruby and Diamond Necklace! 500 holiday bags have been stuffed with a Grand Prize Numbered Ticket, a Cubic Zirconia or a Garnet and a Kiss. Bags will sell for $7 each or 2 for $12. The winning number will be announced in businesses the evening of Glitz at 8:45 pm. Encourage your customers to keep their prize ticket until the winner has been officially announced in the media.
• Lights! Lights! Lights! Light up the night by adding extra lights to your window displays. If you have access to outdoor electricity, consider lighting up your business exterior. Add even more light to the business district by loaning your neighbor access to an outlet.

Merchant buy-in fees go directly to advertising "shop Keokuk for the Holidays."
