The holidays come to Park Rapid
November 26

You won’t want to miss Park Rapids’ traditional start to the holidays!
Some stores will be open extended hours (we’ll be open 9:00 to 7:30.)

Holiday shopping discount
All day
We’ll offer a 20% discount on any in-store book listed in our holiday catalog. (May not be combined with other offers.)


Yuletide Sampler
5:00 to 6:00
Stop in participating downtown businesses for a light snack and to exchange holiday greetings! Note: our participation in the Yuletide Sampler will be determined by the situation of COVID in Hubbard County in November. We’ll make a decision later in the month and announce it on our Facebook page.

The tree lighting will include a short program, Christmas caroling, the lighting of the tree, and the arrival of Santa and Mrs. Claus on a fire truck. The event is sponsored by CHI St. Joseph’s Hospice. Part of the program features a family who has benefited from Hospice services in the past year. This year it will be the family of John Schumacher. After the tree lighting, Santa and Mrs. Claus will be at Bella Caffe’ until 8:00 to hear children’s wish lists.

Small Business Saturday/Indies First
November 27

Small Business Saturday is a time to support your local community by patronizing local business and shopping small. Indie bookstores call the day Indies First! This year, author Roxanne Gay is the honorary chairperson of the event.

At Beagle and Wolf, we’ll roll out the blue carpet for you! We offer a free book with any purchase and complimentary gift wrapping. We’re planning some fun promotions, we’ll give away great prizes, and authors will be in the store to sign their books. And, we’ll offer a 20% discount on any in-store book listed in our holiday catalog. (May not be combined with other offers.)

More details will be posted on Facebook later in the month.
To kick off Indies First, join author Roxanne Gay virtually for a special event on Nov. 18 at 6PM. Roxane and editor Amy Hundley will be in conversation about her new imprint, Roxane Gay Books, independent publishing, and indie bookstores.
