About The Event

---

It is a progressive dinner concept (with a shopping passport) where customers move from one business to another (on E. Main St., Westminster), enjoying a different course or drink at each stop and getting credit for it (see why we picked a school theme). We thought this would be a fun way to spend Westminster Wednesday. Given the play on words and timing of the event, a school theme was a must! 

This event is focused on a cluster of food/beverage businesses on E. Main St (Westminster, MD), with the addition of a few retail partners too. The "CORE COURSES" are: 

Collision Course -- Take a CRASH COURSE in humanities 

Covalent Spirits -- Experiment at the SCIENCE LAB

City Park Gaming and Brew Room (CPGB) -- Play PARK GAMES during recess

Liquid Library -- Study hard at the LIBRARY

If you want "EXTRA CREDIT," visit our retail partners for books and supplies -- Rudolph Girls Books, Cultivated, and East Main Antiques & Furnishings

Hey Westminster is our philanthropy partner.  For every completed report card submitted, they will donate $10 (up to $1000) to offset student meal debt at local public schools.

Maybe...each participating business will decide what they want to offer that day. Please check their websites and social media pages for more info. 

• Attend the “core courses” (visit the participating food/beverage businesses)
• Complete the “assignment” (make a purchase at the business)
• Do optional “extra credit” (visit our retail partners and get additional raffle entries)
• Turn in your completed “report card” to win “lunch money” (raffle for gift cards)

Starts on Wed, 9/3/2025 at 4 PM, as part of Westminster Wednesday. But some businesses may start before 4 PM.

If you complete all the “core courses” (+ any "extra credit") and submit your report card by Wed 9/3 10 PM, you will be entered in the grand prize raffle for a $100 gift card bundle. If you need an extension, submit your report card by Sun 9/7 9 PM and enter a raffle to win a $25 gift card (multiple winners). NOTE: not all the businesses are open on Sunday, so plan accordingly!

Similar to a "shopping passport" or a "pub crawl passport," you will get a stamp for every participating business you visit (and make a purchase). A completed report card means you have visited all four "core courses" businesses, and they stamped your report card. You have the OPTION to also complete "extra credit" at our retail partners. For each one you visit, you will get one additional raffle entry. For example, if your report card has stamps from:

• 1-3 "core courses" (only) = 0 raffle entry
• 1-3 "core courses" + "extra credit" = 0 raffle entry
• 4 "core courses" (only) = 1 raffle entry
• 4 "core courses" + 1 "extra credit" = 2 raffle entries
• 4 "core courses" + 2 "extra credit" = 3 raffle entries
• 4 "core courses" + 3 "extra credit" = 4 raffle entries

Report cards will be available on 9/3 at the four "core courses" businesses. A limited number will be available at the "extra credit" retail businesses.

You can submit your report card to any of the 7 "core courses" or "extra credit" participating businesses.

Target raffle drawing date is "as soon as we can"! We will contact you if you win. Make sure your name and contact info are legible on your report card.

For report cards submitted on Wed 9/3 -- a $100 gift card bundle ($25 gift card to each of the four "core courses" businesses). 

For report cards submitted on Thu 9/4-Sun 9/7 -- $25 gift card to one of the participating businesses (multiple winners)

While this is a lighthearted and fun event, we also want to take this opportunity to help our community. For every completed report card submitted (9/3-9/7), Hey Westminster will donate $10 (up to $1000) to offset student meal debt at a Carroll Co. public school. Any student who needs a meal at school can get one, regardless of their family's ability to pay. CCPS collects donations to help students pay for their meals. The donors remain anonymous.

Yes! Please email Hey Westminster for more information.
