THE ERAS SCAVENGER HUNT – June 22-28

Participate in our ERAS SCAVENGER HUNT that will be happening at 29 locations throughout downtown Carlisle! Just pick up a scavenger hunt entry form at any participating location or download the form HERE.  

Visit each location and find a Tiny Taylor that’s hidden somewhere in each shop. You’ll see examples of the Tiny Taylors in the photo above. Once you find her get that location to sign off that she’s been found but you do not take the Taylor. It stays so other folks can find it. 

Once you have found Taylor in at least 13 locations (but we encourage you to find them all), turn your entry form in to any of the participating locations by Friday, June 28. 

One Winner will be randomly selected from all the entries received to win $25 in LoveBucks and a Taylor Swift Prize Pack that includes Taylor vinyls, a Travis Kelce lifesize cardboard cut out and more!

midsummer SAVOR + MARKET is happening this weekend at 34 West Pomfret Street! SAVOR is a catered dinner on the patio. Each course is being served on my ceramic ware. Tickets for the dinner are sold out but the MARKET, is free and open to the public, like a pop-up, this Friday and Saturday from 10am-5pm. 

If Taylor were stopping by a pop-up market in her home state of PA, we’d like to think she'd stop by the midsummer MARKET hosted by K.Olson (who also was born in the same year as T.Swift and has been a ceramic artist for 13 years!). I bet Taylor would love what she'd find here...handmade ceramics that she'd enjoy serving her baked goods from, gemstone beaded jewelry for some extra flair to her outfits, botanically dyed goods by Carol Reed including napkins which no doubt she'd use in her kitchen while cooking...just to name a few of the MARKET's offerings!
