.

Jeffrey Atlanta GM,

Don Purcell

, who also co-chairs

FNOAtlanta

, enthusiastically listed all the participating retailers throughout midtown, Atlanta Station and Buckhead - well over 50 places! Last year Jeffrey Atlanta served champagne & Krispy Kreme, too fun! Before the conference started, I asked Don what he'll be serving this time around. Believe it or not, he's already thinking of something to top last year!

FASHION'S NIGHT OUT

is on

September 8th

. Mark your calendars!  A Night to Remember is two days earlier on September 6th. Also, look for "pop up" stores the week of.  A free shuttle will be available to take you all over town. I will most certainly pass along information and details.
