Everyone in the community is encouraged to shop local this Christmas and, if supporting local small business is not incentive enough, then the Local 4 Locals campaign will definitely get you excited!
With a total of $5000 worth of shopping vouchers to give away over the next three weeks, there will be a special draw each Friday in the run-up to Christmas.
For your chance to win, simply purchase an item from one of the 23 participating stores and your entry will be put into the draw.
The first draw will take place this evening in conjunction with the Christmas Street Fair and Markets during which many shops will be open for extended hours.
“On the night there will be a special appearance by Santa and Rudolf,” said organiser Wendy Bickhoff.
“Come down dressed in your best Christmas outfit and you may win a prize!’
For full details head to the Locals 4 Locals Bowen Facebook page.
A prize of $1000 will be drawn this evening, December 2, and a further $1000 will be drawn on the following two Fridays - December 9 and 16.
Each entry from previous weeks will then go into the final grand prize pool of $2000 which will be drawn on December 23.
The promotion itself begins at 8am today and all entries will be submitted for tonight’s draw.
If you are local business and would like to participate in the campaign, simply chat to Wendy at Coral City to Country for full details.
The first draw will take place at 8pm this evening and the winner does not need to be present in order to claim the prize.
