Turf Valley Offers a Temporary Home

December 2016/January 2017

“Her Mind” tradition during the holidays is our Gift to Myself guide. This year, we did our holiday shopping at Turf Valley. Since August, the resort has offered space for displaced Ellicott City merchants to set up shop. At the same time, consultants have been working with many store owners to enhance their online sales – an important part of today’s retail economy. The indoor market had the feel of a street fair; tables were piled with goods that had survived the flood. While it was fun to see so many items – from Simply Divine’s festive clothing to yummy homemade fudge from Southwest Connection – under one roof, we are thrilled that we can stroll down Main Street once again.
