This February, we’re celebrating Love Your Local by spotlighting Essex Board of Trade members and their Valentine’s Day–themed specials. From thoughtful gifts to local experiences, this feature is all about showcasing the heart of our membership with promotion of the businesses that make Centerbrook, Essex, and Ivoryton thrive. Stay tuned for details!
ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT LOVEFEST Our first annual Lovefest will take place on Sunday, February 8th from 12-3pm. The program is rooted in self-care, love, and all things Valentine's. Now we understand that later that day there is a certain sporting event that may draw your attention; But come hang with us from 12-3pm to pregame, get a little beauty touch-up with Sadah, have a nice little massage from Blissful Beauty, or a mini tarot reading with Lauren! We'll have florals from Jakkelyn Iris Floral Studio and other host gifts for you to bring to your gatherings as well! Carnation-grams will also be offered for a Valentine's Day delivery! A nice little throwback to grade school sending a sweet something to a friend. We will of course keep it local to the tri-town area since yours truly will be delivering to your loved one's mailboxes. *Some offerings may require cash or Venmo*
