For more than 25 years, the Shreveport Symphony Guild has worked with local merchants on discount shopping event, called the “Shoppers Card.”
The shopping window is from Oct. 16-26. Shoppers purchase a Shoppers Card for $50, and during that ten-day period, participating merchants give 20% discounts to those with a Shoppers Card, though some exclusions apply, depending on the merchant.
Most participating merchants sell the discount cards. Cards may also be purchased at the Shreveport Symphony Orchestra office or from many Symphony Guild members.
The Symphony House at 2803 Woodlawn Ave. in Shreveport, La., shown here on Friday, Jan. 19, 2024, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
McCary’s Jewelers – which has participated since the beginning of this shopping event 27 years ago – is offering a chance at a $500 shopping spree in their store to anyone who purchases a Shoppers Card. The drawing for the winner will be held Nov. 7 at the business.
