Moberly businesses to hold Open Houses this weekendBy MoberlyMonitor.com

Moberly, MO – A total of 17 Moberly antique, craft, floral, gift and home décor merchants have banded together to host their 3rd Annual Fall Open Houses on Friday and Saturday, Sept. 10 and 11, at their individual store locations.

One of the participants—Randolph Mercantile—will be continuing their Fall Open House into Sunday, Sept. 12.

“Now going into our third year, customers have really caught on to our joint efforts during this weekend after Labor Day,” said Dale Sosniecki, co-owner of two participating shops: Coach Light Hallmark Gold Crown and Coach Light’s American Country. “For weeks my customers have been checking to make certain that our group of stores are repeating this event.”

In the early stages, these coordinated antique and gift store open houses originally found an audience with area residents. “But now, with 17 stores promoting together—all with compatible merchandise on their shelves—we’ve had people come in as far as St. Louis and Quincy to see what all the excitement’s about.”
