MIt’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas on Augusta Road, and that means it’s

time for the eagerly anticipated Holiday Open House, hosted by the Augusta Road Business Association. A seasonal tradition for many Upstate residents, Holiday Open House will take place on Sunday, Nov. 22, from 1-5 pm with a better-than-ever schedule of great deals, special events, contests and family fun.

A festive way to encourage shoppers to check out local businesses, the event takes place up and down the well-known street, with the Main Street Trolley on hand to ferry customers to each shopping destination.

The sights, sounds and of course tastes of the holidays will abound, with a visit from Santa, live music, carriage rides, hot cocoa, door prizes, special gift ideas and so much more.

Getting socialA new addition this year is the Holiday Open House Instragram Contest.

As you enjoy the offerings throughout Augusta Road, post a photo and tag @onlyonaugusta and #holidayopenhouse2015. Restaurant owners from Augusta Grill, The Donut Experiment, Subway, Blockhouse Restaurant & Oyster Bar, The Bakery Off Augusta, The Local Taco and The Pickwick Pharmacy and Soda Fountain will choose their favorite, and the lucky winner will receive gift certificates to these Augusta Road restaurants.

Tom Hohman, manager of The Bakery off Augusta, said he looks forward to seeing what creative photos and selfies customers come up with, from group pictures to shots of customers enjoying their extensive buffet.

“It’s open to everybody,” he said of the spread that will include Southern tomato tarts, red velvet cake, rosemary shortbread and pumpkin bread, among other delights.

The bakery will also be participating in the shopping spree contest for the fourth year. In this popular event, shoppers use the form included in this insert - or online at www.onlyonagustua.com – and collect stamps as they check out a variety of participating shops and restaurants. The more stamps participants have, the more times their names goes into the prize drawing. Shoppers who visit each member location will be included in the grand prize drawing to win a shopping spree of gift certificates - and the value of these prizes ranges from $200 to $1,000!

Some can’t miss stops include Augusta Commons, where guests can enjoy

carriage rides through this historic Greenville area, a DJ playing Christmas music and of course, Santa himself. Barre3 will be on-site showcasing sample classes, while the Elephant’s Trunk – a must for anyone with kids on their list - will offer face painting and kids’ activities and will be hosting the Swurfer bus featuring inventor Rob Bertschy from Charleston. His invention is a high-flying swing with a surfer’s stance – you have to see it!

They will also have author Kate Salley Palmer signing her new book, “2016 Race for the White House,” a coloring book designed with adults in mind.

Hungry visitors will want to check out Augusta Village, where the Chocolate Moose Truck will be serving treats. Door prizes, giveaways and special deals will be available at Paisley & Paper, while Ponthieux’s Jewelry Design Studio will offer refreshments along with free jewelry cleanings and inspections.

Owner Wanda Ponthieux is excited to participate in the event for the first time as a part of Augusta Village after moving from a nearby location in January.

“It’s a great day for working on those wish lists,” she said. “It’s fun.”She’s also getting into the decorating spirit this year to participate in

the LIghts on Augusta competition. Sponsored by TALK Magazine, this contest encourages Augusta Road businesses to decorate their storefront, and the community votes throughout the month of

December to select a winner.Other highlights include Capers Place, where there will be

free gift wrapping, ornament-making for kids and live music from Tim White. Visitors can enter to win a Capers Place gift basket, or enjoy special deals and gifts at Reedy River Dentistry, Salon Beverly, Paws and Claws, Tootsies, Savvy and Moppets.

North Hills Automotive doesn’t have Christmas gifts for sale, but the retail auto service business is active with the

Augusta Road Business Association, and owner Ken Gamble is serving as vice president of membership this year.

“This is one of the top things we do to promote these businesses each year, and that’s what we’re all about,” he said. “We like to do things that bring the community and the businesses together and this one is always very successful. Everybody looks forward to it.”

When Grace Trail attends Holiday Open House with her family, it ’s much more than shopping. It ’s reliving a part of her childhood and helping her children create those same memories.

“I grew up in this area, so Augusta Road was a part of my childhood,” she said. “I used to go pick out the presents I wanted at the Elephant’s Trunk, and now my children are picking out theirs. Visiting Musette Stern (owner at Muse Shoe Studio) - I used to work there, and she and my mom are friends. It ’s about so much more than business, it ’s about stopping in and visiting.”

In addition to visiting some of her favorite shops, Trail and her husband Ryan love to take daughters Holmes, 7, and Mackey, 3, and son Ellis, 6, to ride the horse drawn carriage.

“It ’s a fun family activity that gets you in the mood for Christmas,” she said. The family laughs when recalling one trip on the Santa Mobile at Holiday Open House that took them a little farther than they expected - all of the way to Home Depot.

The lights and decor in the shops and squares, holiday music around every corner and catching up with old and new friends are all highlights for the Trails, and while she doesn’t do too much buying with the whole family in tow, she does gather many good ideas for follow-up purchases.

Trail likes supporting local businesses instead of big box retailers and chains, and says that it not only helps

her friends and neighbors who run the businesses, but is more enjoyable as well. “It ’s a great three-mile stretch of shopping,” she said.

The kids enjoy activities like face painting and crafts but they also make sure to have a special visit with Santa during Holiday Open House. Refreshments and free samples of a variety of treats up and down Augusta Road are always popular with the kids as well.

“They see a lot of their friends, and it’s just a good way for all of us to slow down and spend time together,” Trail said. “It really is about community.”

arba Gives backA Holiday Open House tradition

Family fun and gift ideas are two important parts of Holiday Open House, but giving back to the community is a major focus as well, with several volunteer efforts coinciding with the event.

Members of Augusta Road Business Association kicked off the holiday season on November 5, making deliveries for Meals on Wheels - a longstanding ARBA tradition.

Meals on Wheels - a nonprofit organization that serves meals to homebound individuals. Last year, Meals on Wheels delivered more than 400,000 meals in Greenville County thanks to a volunteer corps of more than 2,000.

ARBA members are proud to participate. Ken Gamble of North Hills Automotive said that no matter how busy his company is, he

makes sure that his staff is represented, and often sends out his shuttle vehicles and drivers to deliver meals. “It’s something we’re glad to be involved with,” he said. “Even if there is a sacrifice involved, that’s ok - we should be involved.”

ARBA also supports the Samaritan

House throughout the month of December, and participating businesses will have special donation boxes set up during Holiday Open House and throughout the season. All collections go directly to the Samaritan House, a local charity that oversees the collection and distribution of food and clothing to those in need in the Augusta Road area.

The Samaritan House of Greenville is a faith-based cooperative made up of five sponsoring churches along with individuals and community groups. The organization provides about $1,200 to $1,300 of food per week. Because of donations, USDA status, and bargain shopping, the Samaritan House can turn $1 donated into over $2 of food, according to Samaritan House board member Bozzie Boggs, so every donation can make a big difference.

Tom Hohman at the Bakery off Augusta said his team always participates in the Samaritan House fundraiser. One year, when little was collected in the box, “the staff threw all of our tips in there,” he said. “We’re always involved in that.”

Shoppers are encouraged to enjoy the great deals on Nov. 22 and then, if they can, put a few coins or bills in the collection boxes to help make the holidays a bit brighter for a local family in need.

North Hills Automotive can’t sell gifts at Holiday Open House, but there is one way the retail auto service company can participate - through the ever-popular Lights on Augusta event.

“We have a big building here,” said owner Ken Gamble. “We can really do a lot with lights. We didn’t win last year, but we’ll see how competitive it gets this year.”

Lights on Augusta is a contest for Augusta Road Business Association members that has become a community tradition and a boost to camaraderie among ARBA

members. All the businesses have to do is decorate their business or storefront - and the community decides on a winner via online voting at www.onlyonaugusta.com.

Voting kicks off December 1 and ends December 31, and Holiday Open House is a great time for customers to begin picking favorites.

This community tradition is a favorite of area families, regular shoppers and visitors to the Augusta Road area. Though the historic area is beautiful year-round, the shopping district is something special during the holidays, with many business owners pulling out all of the stops for

amazing light displays that put everyone in a festive mood. More than 20 businesses will be competing this year,

including past winner Ponthieux’s Jewelry Design Studio, which is returning after a year off due to a move. Owner Wanda Ponthieux is excited to return and have her store decorated for the season. “It’s a lot of fun,” she said. “Our clientele has grown, and we have more customers, so we really enjoy doing it.”

Lauren Flack, director of retail operations at Twill, says her store will be participating for the first time. “We always decorate the store with Christmas ornaments and presents, but this year we’re adding lights so everyone will be able to see it at night,” she said.

Lights on Augusta is a big part of what makes the Holiday so special in this area, she said. “I love that everyone gets into decorating and displays, and the whole area looks like a Christmas village,” she said.
