On Nov. 12, David and Nancy Hanson, owners of The Toy Box, will join over 500 stores across the country to celebrate National Neighborhood Toy Store Day.

The Toy Box will offer free cookies, surprise discount drawings of 5 percent to 50 percent off purchases, as well as door prizes.

“Neighborhood Toy Store Day is about celebrating the role the local store plays in the community,” said Kathleen McHugh, president of the American Specialty Toy Retailing Association.

Shopping at neighborhood and independent retailers not only increases consumer choice, it also preserves jobs and local character.
