Mahoney's to Host Ladies Night Out on Wednesday

will kick-off the holiday season with their Annual “Ladies Night Out” Christmas Shoppe Open House on Wednesday, Nov., 16 from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. at their Winchester location. At this free event, guests will be the first to shop Mahoney’s Christmas decorations, enjoy wine and food sampling, and discover products and services from a wide variety of local merchants and artisans.

The event began in 2006 as an open house to their Christmas Shoppe in Winchester. It was the following year, when Mahoney’s invited local merchants to participate, that the event became a social event. Last year over 3,000 women attended the Winchester Ladies Night Out.

The event is so popular that Mahoney’s now hosts Ladies Night Out in three locations. In addition to Winchester, their Tewksbury location will host the event on Thursday, Nov. 10 from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m., and their Falmouth location on Thursday, Nov. 17 from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m.

"The event really is a fun night out for everyone,” said Kristin Broadley, co-owner of the Centerville Pie Company. Thrust into the spotlight after landing on Oprah’s Ultimate Favorite Things 2010 for their chicken pie, Broadley will be sampling and selling their pies at all three Mahoney’s Ladies Night Out events, adding “the atmosphere and people just can’t be beat. Where else can you shop to music while sipping wine and tasting amazing treats?”

The event has helped support the local economy, too. “Being local is so important these days,” says Pamela Vasques, event manager at Mahoney’s. “We’ve tried to reach a vast array of merchants both for the ladies shopping enjoyment, but also to the benefit local merchants and artisans.”

“There are so many different vendors at the event that the shoppers could probably find an accessory to every scarf that I sell,” says Terry Pino, owner of A Perfect Scarf. “Although I’m there primarily to sell my cashmere scarfs, I always end up shopping for the holidays because there’s so much.” Pino will be selling her scarfs at all three Ladies Night Out event locations.

Local merchants planned for the event include, but are not limited to, Green Eyed Daisy, Doves and Figs, Jen Dubey, Crafty Yankee, Savannah Grace, Fashion Jewels, Sparkles, Simple Pleasures, Ruby's, Tastefully Simple, Friends of Mel, Miche Bags, Masa Rest, J&B butcher, Centerville Pie Company, Cannistraci Baker, Coastal Vineyards, Westport Rivers Winery, Muffin Cart, , Joslin Foods, Fromage a Trois, Cape Cod Lady and much more.

At the event, Mahoney’s will also promote their annual , where shoppers can spread some holiday cheer by donating a tree to a military family.
