This weekend will be an exciting one for downtown Eau Claire and The Local Store! On Friday (Feb. 7), its 'First Fridays' in downtown Eau Claire and the first day of the Banbury Art Crawl (3-9pm). The Local Store will be open until 9pm Friday with BUY ONE GET ONE HALF OFF OFF ALL V1 ART, the Ukelele Klub of Eau Claire performing in the V1 Gallery at 7pm – and FREE Right Way Shuttle rides between The Local Store and the Galloway entrance of the Banbury Art Crawl (shuttles run 5-9pm). And that's only Friday!

On Saturday (Feb. 8), the Banbury Art Crawl continues from 9am to 3pm, as do the free shuttle rides between there and The Local Store. We'll be open early at 9am Saturday to coincide with the Art Crawl – and to host the Legacy Chocolates Coffee & Chocolate Lovers' Tasting event in the V1 Gallery from 9am-12pm. If you can't visit us at the store, look for The Local Store booth at the art crawl itself all weekend, offering various artwork and prints, local books, Valentines Day gift ideas, and more!
