The Village of Garrettsville will kick off the holiday season this coming Saturday at 5 pm when the Christmas on Main promotion begins.
Christmas on Main is a celebration of the area local businesses and it is a shopping program that promotes buying local. Sponsored by the Garrettsville Area Chamber of Commerce, over thirty area merchants will be participating in this promotion.
Beginning on Saturday, November 25th at 5 p.m., customers will have the opportunity to collect holiday stamps when they patronize any of the participating merchants and spend at least $5. The shopping program works like this:
1) Pick up an entry card at any of the participating merchants on November 25th
2) Spend a minimum of $5 per visit at any merchant and receive a sticker on your card.
3)Once your card is filled — $100 worth of stamps — drop your card off at any participating merchant location to be entered into a drawing.
The promotion ends on Saturday, December 17th. All filled cards must be entered for the drawing by 5 pm Monday, December 19th.
The drawing will take place on December 21st during the Chamber of Commerce meeting and the winners will be notified.
