One lucky shopper will win $500 in Clarendon Cash this week to close out the Chamber of Commerce’s 2019 “Totally Locally” program.
The big winner will be drawn as the culmination of this year’s final Late Night Shopping this Thursday, December 19, at 8 p.m. at Saye’s.
You do not have to be present to win the $500 prize; but before that name is drawn, four lucky winners will get to spin the wheel for holiday prizes from Totally Locally participating merchants. Wheel spinners do have to be present to spin.
Last week, Jesus Hernandez, Cy Allen, Paulette Kidd, and Paula Lowrie were the lucky spinners. They each took home a prize featured on the Chamber’s Totally Locally Gift Ideas blog, which is posted on ClarendonTX.com and features gift ideas from about a dozen participating businesses. Each gift idea costs $50 or less and are available for purchase at participating merchants.
“Totally Locally” merchants participating at press time are A Fine Feathered Nest, Clarendon Outpost, Cornell’s Country Store, Country Bloomers Flowers & Gifts, Every Nook & Cranny, Floyd’s Automotive, Henson’s, J&W Lumber, Mike’s Pharmacy, Saye’s Tack Store, Studio E, and Turquoise & Rust. Shoppers can register at any “Totally Locally” merchant through December 19 for a chance to spin the wheel for prizes and for a chance to win $500 in Clarendon Cash.
According to small business advocates, every $100 spent in locally-owned stores returns $68 to the local community through taxes, payrolls, and other expenditures. That same money spent in another town or online returns nothing to your local community.
Shop at home this holiday season and remember the important role your local merchants play in keeping your community strong.
