North Shore invites all to Holiday Open House

The Northshore Merchants Collective is again hosting a Holiday Window Treasure Hunt, which proved popular last year. "We hope this will give exposure to the businesses that are participating, too," said Juliane O'Neal. The scavenger hunt also benefits the local nonprofit Northside Neighborhood House.

Holiday Open House

This weekend-long celebration of the North Shore will kick off Friday, Nov. 11 and run through Sunday, Nov. 13. Food, games, music, contests and special discounted sales at many North Shore businesses are on the agenda for the weekend.

With Halloween come and gone, it’s time again for the North Shore Holiday Open House, complete with the second annual Holiday Window Treasure Hunt.

Proceeds from the scavenger hunt will benefit Northside Neighborhood House, which works to educate and assist residents in North Hamilton County by offering direct emergency assistance, adult GED programs and more.

“It was such a fun success last year,” Juliane O’Neal said of the treasure hunt. An employee of Frankie & Julian’s on Frazier, she is also a member of the organizing committee for the area’s open house. “We ended up raising over $2,000 for the Northside Neighborhood House, and we’d love to aim higher.”

The scavenger hunt begins Friday, Nov. 11, kicked off by the weekend-long Holiday Open House, and runs through Jan. 2. Participants can pick up a game card from one of the participating merchants on the North Shore. Then, while shopping and perusing at participating stores, they simply need to be on the lookout for the items listed on their card, such as an ice cream scoop from Clumpies Ice Cream in the window of Embargo ’62.
