The first thing I found at Instagram today was a local network called EssentialsBoxOK had started following Edmondactive. Interested in what this account was all about, I 
went to their feed, and only saw a few photos, but their profile said to find them at Facebook. So, of course I did just that. In reading their about section at Facebook, I thought I would share their Facebook page at @localshelpinglokals or you can find them by searching Essentials Box OK. They are a not for profit, are set up at First Christian Church in Downtown Edmond on 2nd & Boulevard, on select days M-F from 6 am to 7:15 am during Breakfast on Boulevard and they state they will update the community as to when they’ll be handing out basic needs items at the Church. They have received a donation which was applied to these items from Amazon today! If you have any desire to find out more about this program, find them and contact this start up, it’s very much in demand locally!
‘Tis the season for Holiday Open House’s at local retailers all over Edmond and the 
Edmond area. Tonight, from 5-8 pm you can stop in to 2 Doors Down, on 33rd St. and Bristol Park Blvd. to see what’s new. It’s always such a pleasant way to check out Edmond’s upscale furniture consignment shop where there will be refreshments, discounts and gre company and you never know what you’ll find for the holidays!
Saturday, Serendipity Market at 917 E Danforth Rd will host their Annual Winter Open House from 10-6:30 pm with hourly door prizes, gift certificate giveaways, refreshments after the last month of preparation by all of the talented vendors!
Both events are highly recommended, and if you aren’t able to make it, stop by through out the holiday season for more amazing inventory sure to be added to each shop!

I was stunned to see Amie Henrickson from Edmond Wine Shop announce last week that the Edmond Wine Shop Fall Sale yielded over 10,000 bottles of wine purchased and the most sold during a wine sale in the shop’s history! Way to go Edmond, this is amazing as some of the wine purchased will go to hep victims of the Northern California.
Edmond Wine Shop is located at 1520 S Boulevard Open M-Sat. 10-9 pm
In this month’s Local Edmond (click here), Vance Gregory talks to us about how he ended up on his talked about his path to his ownership of Edmond Wine Shop, and his passion for all things wine including his trips to Napa that stared his love of wine, the industry, and the people in that industry, and how running Edmond Wine Shop became his passion.
This weekend marks Veteran’s Day. Thank you to all of the veteran’s of our military who may be reading for your service so that I and everyone may continue to enjoy the rights you all have fought to uphold. The City of Edmond will be closed Friday and Citizen’s Bank of Edmond will be honoring Veterans with their closure on Saturday.
Have a great Thursday, and I’ll see all of you back here Sunday with more photo galleries from this week’s Holiday Open Houses.
