Are you busy February 2nd?  If not, stop by Downtown Lee’s Summit or the Chocolate Crawl.  This is a fun event with chocolate, giveaways, and FUN!  Grab a friend or loved one and head on out!

Make sure to stop by Life Transformations Personal Training and see us.  We couldn’t decide what to give out.  So, we will have a variety of chocolate goodies.  Some healthy…some not healthy.  Also, we will have a couple giveaways.  A Valentines gift basket and some personal training sessions.  Make sure stop by to enter your name to win prizes. We look forward to seeing everyone!

Downtown Lee’s Summit has some great events planned for the day.

Participating in the Chocolate Crawl for a Cause presented by Local Foundery is a great way to get event discounts at many downtown stores while giving back to our downtown partners, Lee’s Summit Social Services.

START AT GOT Art Gallery: Home of Summit Art

Bring non-perishable food items or monetary donations to Got Art Gallery from 12pm until 2pm and get a Chocolate Crawl necklace and a full-size chocolate bar (while supplies last). The necklace allows you to take advantage of exclusive event discounts at participating downtown businesses…just follow the balloons!

*Tip- There are plenty of public parking lots on Douglas Street or in the parking garage by City Hall.
