Business Survey
Consumer Survey

Think Small Business Saturday meets Oakhurst Porchfest
Saturday September 26th, 12:00-6:00.
No street closures, no crowds

INTERESTED? The Strut organization will match them with artists, other businesses, or bands that they can "host" at their village location.
- The Strut can also provide volunteers to help a business with an activity or the business can do it on their own.
- Lots of people will be partying in their yards, so it would be great for restaurants to offer a special Strut carry-out pack
SIGN UP BY 9/10/20 AT https://eastatlantastrut.com/strut-your-business/
- FREE
- Activities throughout the business and residential areas.
- No big, single events nor specific times
- There will be live streams from different areas during the festival for those that are housebound.
- This in an effort to keep everyone safe, socially distanced, but still able to enjoy both the Village and the neighborhood.
- The Strut will take care of publicity and marketing, but businesses are welcome to do their own.
- Sponsor the Strut: https://eastatlantastrut.com/sponsor-in-place/
