The Central Chamber of Commerce C4 Report: You Could Win a $1500 Shopping Spree!

    The Central Chamber has partnered with the City of Central, the Central Community School System, and over 40 local businesses to bring you our second annual holiday season “Shop Small Business” campaign!  This year’s event will run from November 29 – December 14.  The Running of the Elves 5K will kick off the campaign early on Saturday morning November 29th, followed by a great day of shopping at the many participating merchants.
    Holiday Shopping Cards will be available at each participating merchant and have been distributed to the students at the various Central Schools.  As you use these cards, participating merchants will mark your card according to the dollar amount you spend.  When your card is used up, you submit completed cards to participating merchants and become eligible for one of three grand prizes to be drawn for on Monday December 15th.   The Grand Prizes will consist of three shopping sprees that will be given away in the amounts of $1500, $750, and $500.  So this season make plans to shop local! Include Shop Small Business Saturday, and thereafter, in your plans this year. Our merchants will truly appreciate it and the City of Central and the Central Community School System will benefit from it as well!  Happy Holiday Shopping from your Central Chamber!
