Roam NOWM
Roam NOWM is a scavenger hunt: Visit each merchant and get the merchant to answer a question to which only he/she knows the answer. The merchant must also mark your entry form. When you've completed your form, drop it off at the Magic Carpet Kavehane. Winners will be drawn from all completed entries.
Entry forms will be available at Troll and at the Kavehane on the Village Green. (Many merchants will have them as well.)
Prizes are donated by the merchants and will be on display (as available) near the Kavehane.
The drawing will be done at the Kavehane after court on Saturday, and winners will be posted there. Prizes can be picked up Saturday evening or Sunday morning. Prizes not claimed within a week will be recycled.
Merchant Rewards Program
Merchants reward their loyal customers - now it's time to turn the tables.
Did one merchant really go out of his/her way for you? Did one display wares of incomparable quality? Did one really satisfy your need for a bargain?
Visit the Kavehane to vote for the merchant who really made your (shopping) day! The site fees for two winning merchants - one small and one large - will be refunded.
