Downtown Alpena presents the Cozy Crawl on Saturday

ALPENA — Get ready to embrace all things cozy in Downtown Alpena on Saturday at the first-ever Cozy Crawl.

Spend a day downtown strolling though local shops offering special promotions, enjoy soup specials at downtown restaurants, sample hot cocoa, and wear pajamas for special deals throughout downtown.

Over 20 downtown businesses will be having special activities and promotions to encourage people to bundle up and enjoy all downtown has to offer.

Participants can pick up a Cozy Crawl Checklist at Glik’s (111 N. State Ave.) or Sanctuary Cinema (101 S. 2nd Ave). Complete five activities from the checklist and be entered to win Downtown Dollars. Five lucky winners will be randomly selected to win $25 in Downtown Dollars on Monday. Completed checklists should be returned to Glik’s or Sanctuary Cinema.

“January is a great time to bundle up and explore our downtown,” said Chanda Stafford, owner of Parallel 45 Books and Gifts. “Buy a new book, grab a cup of coffee, and spend this Saturday enjoying Downtown Alpena.”
