“This is a difficult time for many of the small businesses downtown,” said Appleton Downtown Inc.’s marketing director Lynn Schemm.

Since Gov. Tony Evers’ March 24 closure of non-essential businesses during the coronavirus outbreak, small apparel boutiques and furniture shops have had to rely on online sales to pay the bills. 

To assist them, ADI is running an online event 7-9 p.m. Thursday, called the Downtown Virtual Shop Hop.

Find the promotion, videos, specials and store links during the two-hour period in ADI’s facebook page event listings. 

Participating stores are Beatnik Betty’s Resale Butik, Blue Moon Emporium, Casting On, Cedar Harbor, Crazy Sweet, Hey Daisy, Hoot & Company, Joseph’s Shoes, Lillians of Appleton, Mud & Prints, Poppy Avenue Boutique (opening in RiverHeath in June), Scooter G Sports and The Vintage Garden.
