On 4th July across the UK, the public will be encouraged to buy at least one item from their local, independent shop to celebrate Independents’ Day 2013.

Ballymoney Council are providing a family fun day in Ballymoney town centre. Families are invited to come along and meet Mickey and Minnie, have a go on the Spiderman Bouncy Slide, meet the stiltwalking balloon-modeller Uncle Sam and enjoy an afternoon of music and craic from fUSe FM.

There will be a treasure hunt for children to find a mystery word in the town’s shops, in which they could win a Sweets Hamper from the Candy Store.

The Chronicle will be sponsoring a Best Dressed Window Competition and all shops will be automatically entered. There will be special offers in many of the independent shops for one day only!

To stay up to date with all the activities, you can follow the campaign on Twitter @Retail_IndieDay, facebook.com/independentsday or www.retailindieday.com
