Looking Back On 2016 Willoughby DAYZ

We had another very successful Willoughby DAYZ on July 9th this year! We hope that you had a chance to join in the festivities and see what our community has to offer.

Willoughby DAYZ winnerOur merchants came together to provide products and gift cards for gift baskets totaling in excess of over $2000. Participants took part in visiting each merchant and getting their Passport stamped to be entered into the draw.

A huge thank you goes out to G&F Financial for organizing the event and to all the volunteers who joined in the fun and helped us make this annual event happen.
