Critters and La Perla Host Christmas Open House This Weekend!

It all started when Burbank resident Eva Ford, a flight attendant with United Airlines, was watching Channel 7 news. They were doing a piece on shopping local for Christmas and mentioned Montrose. It inspired her to come out and discover some new stores. When making purchases in Holiday Hats & Gowns, Revelation TOPS, and It Takes A Village Kids, she was told about our Spin The Wheel Event. While at the MSPA prize booth she got to enter the drawing for a free Kindle Fire since she spent over $150. She shopped, she spent and she won! When her winning ticket was drawn, Steve Pierce called her right away. She was still in town dining at Ocean View Bar & Grill! She was so excited when Steve and Dale Dawson presented her with her coveted prize. Thank you for shopping & dining in  Montrose, Eva! We hope all who read this follow your example!

Jake & Sona Menachian have great taste and an eye for finding unique gifts and wrapping them beautifully! This weekend, La Perla Design Gallery (2315 Honolulu Ave.) is throwing a party and you are invited! There will be food, drink, music and discounts. The more you spend, the bigger the discount! Great gift finds include leather iPad covers and handbags from Italy, Uno de 50 watches from Spain, artisan jewelry and lots of pomegranate-theme goods. Trust me when I say this is one open house you don’t want to miss!



Critters (2277 Honolulu Ave.) is a Montrose favorite and they want to say “thank you!” All day this Friday the entire store is 25% off! What a great time to get your whimsical Christmas gifts! You will find a host of holiday goodies. Beatles and superhero memorabilia, fun signs, plush toys and much more! Become their Facebook friend and the deal gets sweeter! Plan to shop & dine Saturday and stay for the Montrose Christmas Parade. I’ll be riding in it along with the MSPA board and administrators! It’s going to be another memorable weekend in the Montrose Shopping Park. www.shopmontrose.com
