Downtown Lee’s Summit businesses invite customers to get “warm & fuzzy” as they shop for Fall.  The Fall Open House is Friday, August 28^th through Sunday, August 30^th and businesses will unveil new Fall merchandise and Halloween décor while also helping out those in need.

Customers can sample all their favorite fall treats like cider and pumpkin bread as they shop from store to store.  Want the exclusive on all the Fall specials?  Customers that donate a gently used “warm & fuzzy” item for Lee’s Summit Social Services (like a warm coat or fuzzy socks) will receive a V.I.P. Pass full of discounts and special promotions at participating stores.  Upon donation customers will also receive an entry to register to win a $100 downtown Lee’s Summit shopping spree.  Customers can drop off their items, receive their passes and enter to win at Cameron’s Home Furnishings (26 SE Third Street) throughout the weekend.
