Each business will set up a table or stand in front of their location to sell merchandise, offer free giveaways, and/or host engaging activities for the public.

Participating businesses include:

• 7 Doors Down Ramen Company
• Aaron's
• Add Pilates
• Anthony's Cheesecake

BCA staff will be set up at two "check-in" locations where visitors can go to pick up color-coded maps listing the participating businesses and their addresses. The first will be at the Six Points Plaza (corner of Bloomfield Avenue and Glenwood Avenue). The second will be at Venner Park (640 Bloomfield Avenue). Each location will feature family entertainment - live music, free face painting, and balloon animal artists. For additional information, please visit the BCA website at www.bloomfieldcenter.com.

With an eye toward making this an annual event that grows in coming years (in terms of businesses and attendees), the BCA's goal is to create opportunities for the public to discover some of the great businesses that serve this community and call Bloomfield Center home.
