Local merchants and the Clarendon Chamber of Commerce are planning to make shopping at home pay off during Small Business Saturday and throughout the holiday season.
The third annual “Shop Small” promotion from the Clarendon Chamber of Commerce will put a grand total of $550 in Chamber Christmas Cash in the hands of lucky winners who shop with local merchants.
Sign-ups at participating merchants will begin Friday, November 29, for drawings that will be held for $100 each Friday on December 6, 13, and 20. To enter, shoppers will fill out an entry at local participating merchants. The Chamber will gather them up each Friday morning, and hold the drawings live on the Chamber’s Facebook.
Enter as many times as you shop locally, so shop often. Entries stay in the hopper each week, so those who enter will have multiple chances of winning.
The Chamber will also hold a bonus drawing for $250 in Chamber Christmas Cash on December 20. Sign-up for the bonus drawing will be held starting December 2 at the Clarendon Visitor Center. Shoppers can bring their receipts and receive one entry for every $25 spent at the participating merchants.
As of Tuesday afternoon, the participating merchants include Broken Road Liquor, Broiller’s Auto Parts, Cornell’s Country Store, Country Bloomers Flowers & Gifts, Courtney D’Costa Scentsy Consultant, Lowe’s Family Center, Monroe’s Peach Ranch, Mulkey Theatre, Mike’s Pharmacy, the Whistle-Stop, and Wicked Fast Attire. More businesses were signing up this week, and a full list will be updated at ClarendonTX.com/Christmas.
Chamber members wishing to participate can call the Visitor Center at 806-874-2421.
Several downtown merchants are also making plans to stay open for Late Night Shopping on Thursdays, December 5, 12, and 19, until 8 p.m. That list is still being finalized, but merchants do have plans to draw for prizes during those Thursday nights.
For other activities, see the separate Small Town Christmas article in this week’s Enterprise.
Shop at home this holiday season and remember the important role your local merchants play in keeping your community strong.
