Main Street Challenge winners to hold anniversary celebration, Oct. 25

Time flies when you're a successful Downtown Spartanburg business. Though it doesn't seem that long ago when our inaugural Main Street Challenge winners were holding giant checks while wearing big smiles, two of our fantastic winning businesses, Haute Mama and The Local Hiker, are gearing up to celebrate one year of business in the heart of our city. Along with recently opened fellow winner Motte & Sons Bootlegging, the MSC class of 2013 has decided to celebrate the anniversary with a great event scheduled for Saturday, Oct 25, 11 a.m.–5 p.m. on Liberty Street in Downtown Spartanburg. The street will be closed for live music, food from Paul's Wood-Fired Burgers, and vendors including Those Pickle Ladies and 2014 Main Street Challenge winners, Health in Hand Juice and Smoothie Bar and Paisley Paw. Growler Haus, an honorary 2013 Main Street Challenge winner, will also be on hand spreading the gospel of craft beer and Downtown Spartanburg.
