On Friday, June 19, 2020, an anonymous benefactor began to promote The Loft on Main and local businesses. This person provided The Loft on Main, 112 E. Main Street, Morrison, IL, with $10 gift certificates, to be used at select businesses. Certificates are given to anyone who purchases more than $50 of artwork.
Morrison businesses included Original Taco; Family Chef Restaurant; China House; Fat Boy’s; Hero’s Bar & Grill; Happy Joe’s Pizza; Isle of Rhodes.
This week Embraced, 104 W. Main Street, will benefit from certificates earned from Monday, August 10, through Sunday, August 16.
“The selection of businesses is at the discretion of our donor,” stated Sharon Boyles. “The goal is to encourage residents to shop locally and support our businesses. Each week, a different Morrison business will be selected.”
The Loft on Main continues to be closed during posted business hours but is open by appointment. For information, requests to view items not currently on display in the windows, or to make a purchase, please call 815-718-3682 between 10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
