On Nov. 17, the Marathon chapter of Business and Professional Women hosted their annual Sip & Shop event. Designed for local vendors to showcase their wares, the evening offered light hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar for Marathon residents to enjoy as they got a head start on holiday shopping. Featuring jewelry, clothing, home decor, health and beauty items and more, the event directed all proceeds to fund the BPW/Marathon Stacie Kidwell Memorial Scholarship Fund for graduating MHS seniors.
