Upcoming Events Not To Miss @TheMercantile

We've got a lot going on at The Mercantile these days and we look forward to having you as a part.



Wine Tasting This Saturday!

Join us this Saturday, October 17 from noon until 2 p.m. to try some really interesting wines from Big Boat Wine Company. Leigh McDaniel will be here tasting out a Muller Thurgau from Southern Oregon and a truly delicious sparkling wine made from Ugni Blanc and Colombard out of France. Cote du Rhone blends have also proven to be a big favorite of our guests and so we're going to be tasting and offering yet another delicious Cote du Rhone blend. As always, this is a FREE event. Although, you must have your identification to taste.



Live in your city! Know your city!

Are you ready to vote in the upcoming city wide elections on November 3? In the past 13 months, we have learned first hand at The Mercantile how valuable and important it is to be involved in your community and have good information when it comes time to elect your city officials. Our elected city council members play a very important role in our lives as they determine how our city is governed. Over the next few weeks at The Mercantile, you'll have an opportunity to meet a number of people seeking a seat on the city council. We invite you to stop by, meet some of these folks, inquire about their platform and get ready to vote on November 3.

Saturday, October 17, 12 pm - 2 pm, Meet Steve Brodie. Steve is running for the highly contested seat of District 6. The Mercantile is located in District 6. This District is known for being politically active and this race is going to be a really interesting one to watch. You may recall that Steve Brodie ran for this seat in the last election and was very narrowly defeated. Can't wait to see what happens on this round!

Sunday, October 18, 12 pm - 2 pm, Meet Shelitha Robertson. Ms. Robertson is running for an At Large Post. The At Large seats represent the entire city! These are important candidates to watch. Ms. Robertson has extensive experience with the city of Atlanta including 10 years as a police officer.

Also on Sunday, October 18, 12 pm - 2 pm you will have an opportunity to meet Jesse Spikes, a candidate for mayor! We are looking forward to learning more about Mr. Spikes when he arrives on Sunday.

Stay tuned as we are hoping to get a few other candidates in the shop for you to meet and get to know!
