Camp Bowie Crawl coming to Fort Worth

By Pegasus News wire

From exquisite jewelry and handmade home décor, unique fashions and one-of-a-kind gifts, and don’t forget the delicious dining and happening entertainment venues, Fort Worth’s Camp Bowie Boulevard has it all!

The Fourth Annual Camp Bowie Crawl begins Thursday, April 24 and runs through Saturday, April 26. Nearly 40 retail shops, service providers and dining and entertainment establishments will offer discounts and incentives to patrons of these select retailers from April 24-26.

Coupon booklets are available at participating Camp Bowie businesses, and can also be downloaded at www.campbowiedistrict.com. During the Crawl, shoppers will be eligible to register for a $2000 shopping spree among Camp Bowie businesses.

“Because the Camp Bowie District consolidates promotion efforts, the Crawl weekend allows small business owners with limited marketing resources to reach out to new clientele,” said Brandy O’Quinn, president of Camp Bowie District, Inc. “The goal of this annual three-day shopping extravaganza is to gain merchant awareness by supporting the dozens of locally-owned and -operated Boulevard establishments.”

Camp Bowie District, Inc. is a private sector, not-for-profit public improvement district created in 2000 by commercial property owners to revitalize Fort Worth’s historic Camp Bowie Boulevard. Their enhancement efforts include infrastructure improvements, implementation of beautification projects including tree planting and landscaping, hosting special events including the Jazz By the Boulevard Festival and Camp Bowie Crawl, as well as serving as an advocate for all development.
