Visit downtown Goshen and escape into a world of Fiction, Fantasy & Folklore hosted by local businesses on February 4 from 5 to 9 p.m. 

Fairy tales and fantastic food will be standard fare for February First Fridays as retailers and restaurants band together for an evening filled with costumes, crafts, and cocktails. And shoppers who complete the First Fridays Gnome Hunt – locating and logging a series of images of gnomes at participating stores – can enter to win a variety of gift cards and items.

“This fresh First Fridays calls upon the creativity and imagination of member stores to take an element of what they already offer and make it even more magical for a night,” said Event Director Adrienne Nesbitt. “We think their inspired activities and promotions are just the flight of fancy we could all use right now, and we’re so excited to share them with the community!”

Gnome Hunt sheets are available online and at participating retailers the night of the event. Completed sheets must include the locations of at least 15 gnomes and be submitted by 8:30 p.m. to Ignition Music Garage at 120 E Washington Street to be entered in the drawing for downtown retailers’ goods and services.

Family craft-making activities are also planned at The Imagination Spot and Soapy Gnome, along with an invitation to help a princess find her dragon’s eggs in a special, in-store adventure at Fables Books.

For a list of all Fiction, Fantasy & Folklore events and promotions, visit Downtown Goshen online or on Facebook.
