GULFPORT, FL---The Gulfport Merchants Association, Domain Food & Spirits and “Gulf-Porch” are hosting a “Give Thanks to our Troops” Fundraiser on November 28th, from 10 am to 5 pm. 

No Chains! No Malls! No Meters! Shop Mom and Pop! Kick off the traditional Holiday shopping season with a very special daytime event along Beach Blvd. in Gulfport. Support your local shop owners and artisans, and give thanks to our American Troops at the same time. The festival will provide shoppers with one-of-a-kind gifts that cannot be found anywhere else, and all of your holiday shopping can be done in one place! No running around to different stores or wandering thru acres of mall space, shopping can be done at a leisurely pace while finding unique gift items. Featuring art, crafts, jewelry, clothing, glass, wood, music, photography, toys, home décor, and much more makes this a gift buyer’s delight. Exhibitor fees will be used to ship the goods to service members from our community.

With this collection for our Troops, they wish for simple things, nothing expensive, items such as magazines, puzzle books, reading books, gently used DVD’s, snacks, toiletries, phone cards, etc. Many items can be from your home or a dollar store. No cans or glass please. Collection boxes are located from now until November 28th, at Domain Food and Spirits, 3129 Beach Blvd, and Gulfport On The Rocks on Shore Blvd
