After Hours to be featured at Skye Theater
FARMINGTON — Efforts have been coordinated with the Franklin County Chamber of Commerce, Skye Theatre, SugarWood Gallery, W.A. Mitchell and Bass Hill Gardens & Gifts to create a new feature at Skye Theatre. Skye will feature a different business at the “After Hours” event within the region each week, which started June 20. Skye will offer ticket purchasing opportunities at the featured business in the weeks prior to each Wednesday’s event. The business of the week will also be featured on the Skye Theatre website. In turn, the business of the week will be setting up in Skye’s lobby at a selected show and offering Skye patrons a 30-day discount voucher on selected goods and services. By offering surrounding area Chambers this same opportunity, the hope is to make customers aware of regional member’s goods and services while also enjoying performances. For more information on how to get involved, call Phil McIntyre at 562-444.
