GOSHEN, Ind. -- Looking for a little retail therapy to kick the winter blues?  The City of Goshen has what you're looking for this Friday with "Shop 'til you Drop" First Friday event happening downtown. 

City officials say the event is a chance to explore the array of shopping and dining options in lovely and historic Downtown Goshen.

"The family-friendly First Fridays function, presented by Downtown Goshen, Inc., offers a chance for the community to put the cold on hold and experience some joy-inducing wintertime indulgence in The Maple City's unique downtown district," organizers said.

The event will have participating downtown businesses offering in-store promotions and events—including live mannequins at boutique clothier I M SHE—and specials including "Featured Items Under $50" offer shoppers and visitors the chance to treat themselves.

"Downtown Goshen is so lovely and historic, and has so many wonderful places to shop, eat, and gather with community," said Amanda Rose, Director of First Fridays.

"This time of year limits what we can do outdoors, and that makes February First Fridays the perfect time to celebrate Downtown Goshen for what goes on, indoors."

A list of featured items for sale includes artisan wares, pottery, furniture, sporting goods, boutique items, shoes, hardware, sustainable goods, memorabilia, and a variety of apparel.

"Shop Til You Drop is a celebration of the Downtown Goshen shopping and dining experience, which is truly unique," Rose said. "For us this is a great way to spotlight the businesses and member organizations whose existence, support, and participation is at the heart of our community programming efforts."
