New to Shop Hopping?
Start Here!
We can't wait to
see you during the Carolina Shop Hop!
1) Plan which stores you wish to
visit and map out your route. We have provided a general map. For specific
directions to individual shops, check out the "Participating Shops"
link. Notice that you have two weekends and extended shop hours during
weekdays for your convenience. Some shops may be open earlier or later (see "Participating
Shops" for individual shop hours). Be sure to give yourself plenty of
shopping time! You may also wish to check out the "Hotel and
Restaurant" specials as you plan your hop.
2) New this year! Travel in groups of four hoppers, and you'll be a "Four-Pack." Each member of a four-pack will get a special prize at each shop. Please wear something that identifies each person as part of your "Four Pack." Last year, some of our hoppers got really creative with quilted badges, bags and more!
3) Each shop will have a different but coordinating quilt block pattern and kit for sale. You may choose to collect quilt blocks and make a beautiful sampler quilt to commemorate your Carolina Shop Hop!
3) Pick up your passport at the first shop you visit, or print out the "Printable Passport" and bring it with you. Have each shop stamp your passport.
4) Check out the Rules page for general rules.
5) Don't forget to register at each shop for that shop's prizes, which will be different from the Carolina Shop Hop prizes. You may wish to bring address labels to make it easier to register.
6) Don't forget to leave your completed passport at the last shop you visit!
