DIXON, CA (MPG) - Downtown Dixon's annual Holiday Open House is back and merchants are ready to help you do your holiday shopping without ever hitting a freeway.

Staying in town saves you gas, time, money and supports local merchants. You also support our local economy.

Several downtown stores and services will be kicking off the holiday season beginning at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 23 until closing.

“We are all very excited about the upcoming Holiday Shopping & Dining Day in Downtown Dixon,” said Rebecca Robinson of the Downtown Dixon Business Association, who recently re-opened her Uptown Collective boutique. “Several of the merchants will be offering treats and drawings for prizes. There will be unique, creative, and key vintage finds for downtown shoppers.”

From 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Cynde's Place Salon and Boutique you can enjoy Christmas refreshments while you shop through this salon full of retail, not just for hair products but also clothing, accessories, and home decor. They have a large gift selection of jewelry, purses, Christmas decorations, scarves, hats, and mittens, at 201 North First St. Phone is (707) 693-1105. Cynde's Salon will offer 20% off Saturday retail purchases.

Lisa Newkirk, owner of Sophia Grace, will help you dress warm and wonderfully this holiday season with selections from her clothing boutique.

The Farmer’s Tan is owned by Jesika and Tyler Randall who bought out Kula’s but still offers many of the same services such as tanning beds and spray tans and massage therapy by Rose Cook. They added licensed esthetician Hanna Gillis and Beauty Sculpt by Tracy who offers body contouring solutions. Barber Andy Penunuri works there as well, they said, providing haircuts for children, youth and both men and women.

“We painted the yellow door to black and did a huge remodel,” said Tyler. “It is a completely brand-new place inside from floor to paint to doorknob.  I built a desk that welcomes customers right from the front door.” The couple knew the former owners and were excited to re-start the business.

They are located at 120 West B St. For more information, call (707) 678-2633. They will be open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Most service businesses offer gift certificates for your Christmas shopping ease.
