Bonus: Pick up the First Ever Caught in Southie Holiday Zine
Be on the lookout for it in the neighborhood! It’s FREE!
With the holidays this year, we couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate than by creating something collectable…something delightfully nostalgic that bridges the past/present/future and shows our local love in the BIG way – our first-ever (very tiny) limited-edition Caught in Southie Holiday ZINE!
What the heck is a ZINE? It’s a real, offbeat printed piece of Southie that you can flip through, share, and cherish (we hope!) Plus, there are some “Golden Tickets” hidden inside some of them, where you can win a prize and old-fashioned coupons that you clip and use at local neighborhood spots!
So where can you find it? At these local small businesses in the neighborhood on Saturday, November 29th! While your there – show them some love, order a drink, pick up a gift card, do a little shopping!
Get one before they are gone! Make sure to tag us in your photos with them in the wild! One per customer, please!
