Holiday shopping at home is easy and affordable again as the Donley County State Bank and local merchants have teamed up to provide zero-percent interest “Christmas Cash” loans for the 17th season.
As in the past, anyone can make application for a loan up to $3,000 interest free with the Donley County State Bank. Seventeen local businesses are participating in the Christmas Cash program this year.
The program, which was absent in 2011 and 2012, has proven popular in the past with many consumers and is seen as way to encourage folks to shop at home.
Once a Christmas Cash loan has been approved, the borrower will be issued Christmas Cash Dollars, which may be spent like US currency toward new purchases at all of the participating businesses. Christmas Cash must be spent by December 31, 2013.
Participating Christmas Cash merchants this year are: A Fine Feathered Nest, Big Texas Hair & Brownlee Boots, Clarendon Outpost, Clarendon Veterinary Hospital & Vet Supply, Cornell’s Country Store, Country Bloomers, Every Nook & Cranny, Floyd’s Automotive Supply, Henson’s, J&W Lumber, Mike’s Pharmacy, Fantastic Nails, Osburn Appliance, Ronna’s Creation, Stavenhagen Video, Straight Off The Ranch, and 287 Tire & Tube.
The Christmas Cash program began in 1995 through the cooperation of the Clarendon Chamber of Commerce, the Clarendon Merchants Association, and local banks.
Correction:
Last week’s article incorrectly stated that merchants were holding a Christmas Gold $2,000 giveaway as they did three years ago. The Enterprise regrets that error and any confusion it may have caused.
