Plans Under Way For Bedford's Christmas Around The Square

Last updated on Tuesday, October 17, 2017

(BEDFORD) - Bedford Revitalization Inc. announces that planning is under way for the Bedford Christmas Parade, as part of Bedford’s Christmas Around the Square.

Shopper's Delight - Shop the downtown district on Saturday December 2nd. For every $5 you spend with a downtown merchant, you'll be entered for a chance to win the Grand Prize - $100 cash. Purchases must be made within the contest period of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Dec. 2 to qualify.

#ElfieSelfie - From 3 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., keep your eyes peeled for the elf roaming around the Bedford Square. When you find him, snap a selfie and post to Facebook with the hashtag #elfieselfie. Make sure your post is set to 'public' so that we can enter you into this contest. One lucky contestant will walk away with a Downtown Merchant gift basket, loaded with gifts and goodies from shops downtown.
