GOSHEN, Ind. -- The theme for February’s First Friday, February 4, in downtown Goshen is Fiction, Fantasy & Folklore.

Fairy tales and food will be available as retailers and restaurants provide an evening filled with costumes, crafts and cocktails.

There will even be a First Fridays Gnome Hunt where participants can win a variety of gift cards or other items.

“This fresh First Fridays calls upon the creativity and imagination of member stores to take an element of what they already offer and make it even more magical for a night,” said Event Director Adrienne Nesbitt. “We think their inspired activities and promotions are just the flight of fancy we could all use right now, and we’re so excited to share them with the community!”

Gnome Hunt sheets are available online and at participating retailers the night of the event. Completed sheets must include the locations of at least 15 gnomes and be submitted by 8:30 p.m. to Ignition Music Garage at 120 E Washington Street to be entered in the drawing for downtown retailers’ goods and services. 

Family craft-making activities are also planned at The Imagination Spot and Soapy Gnome, along with an invitation to help a princess find her dragon’s eggs in a special, in-store adventure at Fables Books.
