Shopping local and supporting small business shouldn’t be limited to one weekend and the Live6 Alliance has the perfect place for you to do just that, while scoring unique and meaningful gifts for everyone on your list … whether they are naughty or nice. And, while you’re there, check out the photo booth and fun activities for the kids.
Home(Base) for the Holidays – A Live6 Marketplace presented by Huntington Bank will take place on Fridays and Saturdays through December 18 at its Neighborhood HomeBase headquarters located at 7426 West McNichols in Detroit.
