Throughout the four days, specially baked fortune cookies will be handed out to visitors and shoppers, with some cookies containing instant prizes courtesy of the centre's local retailers. Customers can 'Check in' at East Village, 'Tag' or 'Share' the post with a friend on Facebook to receive a cookie.
