Loyal to Local will put spotlight on local businesses

Morgan City Main Street is a community organization run by the motto “Live here. Buy here. Thrive here.” That’s reflected by an upcoming event, Loyal to Local.
Loyal to Local will be taking place 3-7 p.m. Aug. 29 in downtown Morgan City.
According to Morgan City Main Street’s official site, the idea is to “Think of this event as an open house of sorts for Downtown! Participating businesses will have their doors open and ready to greet you and give you any information you may need concerning their business. Some of our retailers, restaurants and hair salons will be offering special discounts and deals as well as have a custom cocktail available for sample!”
During the event, The Artists Guild Unlimited Everett Street Gallery will be showcasing art and photography for the Louisiana Shrimp and Petroleum Festival’s annual competition.
Real estate agents working with the Main Street District have agreed to host open houses at property for sale downtown as well. Those wanting to see some available commercial real estate will be welcome to walk through.
Properties hosting an open house are 716 First St., 215 Everett St., 201 Railroad Ave. and possibly 900 Front St. and 828 Front St.
