Do you like to shop?
Do you like to support your community?
Do you know someone that is hard to find just the right gift for?
If you answered yes to any of those questions, then the upcoming "A Shopping Spree" event is for you.
The Junior League of Raleigh (JLR), a volunteer program, presents "A Shopping Spree", an event they have been doing since 1984 to raise money to support programs and projects that help better communities.
With more than 130 vendors, including 40 new vendors, from around the nation and products including but not limited to jewelry, home décor, clothing, shoes and art there is sure to be something for everyone. And, with the holidays coming up just around the corner, not only can you help support your community, but you can get some of that dreaded holiday shopping out of the way!
