  SPEAKER_00: All the juice straight from the makeup booth.
• 0:02
  SPEAKER_00: Welcome to the Booth Juice.
• 0:05
  SPEAKER_00: Welcome back to another episode of The Booth Juice.
• 0:08
  SPEAKER_00: Today I'm flying solo to tell you all about our upcoming Christmas shopping night on Thursday, the 26th of November, here in Port Douglas.
• 0:16
  SPEAKER_00: Now, this is the third year that we have run this event.
• 0:19
  SPEAKER_00: This year we have 20 businesses involved with so many epic deals and offers happening up and down the street.
• 0:26
  SPEAKER_00: So I'm so excited to tell you all about it.
• 0:28
  SPEAKER_00: But before we do jump into that, I would like to just take a minute to acknowledge how fantastic small businesses are and how important it is to support them, particularly in the festive season.
• 0:38
  SPEAKER_00: I am speaking mostly about Port Douglas right now, but this kind of goes for any town wherever you're listening.
• 0:44
  SPEAKER_00: Port Douglas is very seasonal.
• 0:46
  SPEAKER_00: We really only have a few peak times of the year, Christmas being one of them, which then backs on to our quietest few months of the year.
• 0:54
  SPEAKER_00: So supporting local not only keeps these businesses alive but allows us to survive until the next season.
• 1:02
  SPEAKER_00: On top of this, all our small businesses are so fantastic at supporting their community, whether it's donations for you know local sporting clubs or schools or trivia nights or whatever, they're constantly donating to your community to make things happen.
• 1:18
  SPEAKER_00: They are consciously curating, you know, collections that they think you're gonna buy, or you know, they know your birthday's coming up, or you know, they they've got their doors open every single day.
• 1:29
  SPEAKER_00: You know, if you've forgotten a birthday present, you run in last minute, you know, you need a pen, you need to quickly write a card.
• 1:34
  SPEAKER_00: These guys are there, you know, and if we don't support them, then unfortunately they're gonna start fading away.
• 1:40
  SPEAKER_00: So I just want to remind you that in all the Black Friday sales and everything coming up, I get it.
• 1:46
  SPEAKER_00: I've fallen victim to a few sales.
• 1:49
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I get the text messages, I know I understand that you know life is expensive and you do have to buy lots of gifts, and living in general is hard, and you know, and sometimes the only way you can afford something is if it's on sale.
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_00: So I completely understand.
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_00: But what I'm trying to say is if you can try and offset some of your presents or some of your purchases this Christmas uh to a local business or a small business, um, I can't tell you how much that means.
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_00: If you can come and make it to our Christmas shopping night or at least pop into town throughout November, December to come and purchase at least one thing.
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_00: You make such a world of difference.
• 2:26
  SPEAKER_00: So thank you so much.
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_00: Alright, jumping into the Christmas shopping night.
