Here at HausWitch we are in full-on October prep mode. Each year hundreds of thousands of people flock to Witch City for our annual “Haunted Happenings” festival and some Salem businesses make a majority of their yearly revenue in that one month. My mission has always been to try to strike a balance between the necessary tourist-baiting and staying true to the year-round vibe of the store by carrying tasteful souvenirs made by local artists, and items that truly honor Salem as a charming New England town that happens to celebrate the figure of the Witch. (AKA the best place on earth).
So this year, I have some super special projects and events in the works for October and I want to know, WHAT DOES SALEM MEAN TO YOU? This is a call for submissions from people who have been here, are planning to visit, or are just admirers from afar. You can send something you’ve written, drawn, painted, photographed, or WHATEVER. Submissions are due by August 5th and you can email them to: erica@hauswitchstore.com
Thank you in advance for participating! Those of you who have been here know that Salem has it’s own unique and wonderful energy and I’m looking forward to celebrating that with so many of you during October. Kisses!
