Win a $50 gift certificate and wrap your holidays in 'Tinsel and Twine'

For a really fun and different holiday experience, hit Westside Provisions District's "Tinsel and Twine" this December 8th and 15th.


The holidays are here and Patch and Westside Provisions District (WSPD) are helping spread the good cheer by giving away to one lucky winner a $50 gift certificate good at any of the outstanding slate of merchants at WSPD.

All you have to do is leave us a comment below about what you're looking forward to (or what you enjoyed most) at this year’s second annual 'Tinsel and Twine' event at WSPD, and we'll enter you into a drawing for the prize good at any shop or restaurant in WSPD.

There’s no need to write a lot. Just a sentence or two will do and we’ll conduct a random drawing from among the comments entered by noon on Wednesday, Dec. 12.

For a really fun and different holiday experience, skip the mall this holiday season and stop by WSPD’s Tinsel and Twine on Dec. 8 and 15 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Tinsel and Twine participant Rachel Baba of Seed Factory says, "We're offering these really fun, totally free "photo booth"-style snapshots with Santa, and I can't wait to watch families and friends ham it up for the camera once that first flash goes off."

And snapshots with Santa are only the beginning. Tinsel and Twine is also hosting boutique retailers from all over the country to augment the already-outstanding slate of merchants at Westside Provisions District (WSPD).

The line-up includes children's clothier Emerald August, doll makers The Cinnamon Bears, rubber stamp artisans The Small Object, ceramic jewelers Olaria Studio, gourmet barbecue sauce maker Cobbie's Sauce and menswear favorite Lyonstate.

WSPD's own Seed Factory will offer a handmade holiday stocking bar, Star Provisions will serve up gingerbread, hot chocolate and an old-fashioned candy counter, and SimplyPut Paper and Gift will be on hand to (literally) giftwrap your holiday purchase in tinsel and twine!

Ms. Sears, Clearly, you don't want to engage in a reasoned debate on this issue. When you wroteRead More "let's work together" you forgot to add "so long as we do it my way." If your real concern was removing invasive non-native plants, would you be spending all this time and effort raising money to build expensive bridges and a 31 mile trail?

Since our announcement unveiling the PMG web site, I have been waiting to see if anyone from SFCRead More would substantively address the thoroughly reasoned positions and impressive factual sources you will find if you visit the PMG web site. But no, and at first you might think that it’s the few pro-SFC commenters who are the small, but loud minority. However, SFC all along has chosen to work behind the scenes, as though they were trained in Washington politics. They don’t want to face up to neighbor concerns, or new academic research on trails, or even have to provide half-detailed specifications to justify the cost and impact of their grandiose scheme. Could it be they know how to obtain funding and approvals the political way, without the bothersome public? Could it be they know what is good for the rest of us and just need us to shut up? What country is this? Here is an example. SFC managed to get DeKalb County to file a grant application with the State without any public hearing, telling the County Commission that the community supports the SFC connected trail plan, and seeking funds for connecting Zonolite park to their other proposed trails. This contradicted what SFC told MLPA, that connecting trails were not part of the Zonolite work. And, SFC did not tell the Commission or the State about the negative feedback acknowledged in the Park Pride Report. (continued)

At that MLPA meeting, PMG’s position was that we would not oppose work confined to ZonoliteRead More that was not for connecting to the larger SFC trail plan, if that was the result of an open process involving the impacted neighbors and businesses. Did we feel snookered by the DeKalb grant application? You bet. So what I say to SFC is: let’s debate this out in the open and have the same sort of dialog we all now expect when the use of property is taken up a notch, whether it’s a for condo, or a road widening, or a re-zoning, or a trail. PMG will keep on sharing facts with decision makers and impacted neighbors until that happens.
