Downtown Goes Pink! In celebration of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we invite you to visit participating Downtown businesses who are featuring a pink-themed item (dish, drink, dessert or merchandise item) during October 13-19. Each participating business will be donating a percentage of their pink item sales to benefit breast cancer research at Mayo Clinic.
Collect a passport to check off your visits. For a chance to win a $25 gift card to a Downtown business, each stamp on your passport = one entry into the gift card drawing!
