Go Local campaign and contest starts for holidays

The holidays are upon us which means ‘tis the season to GO Local! Tahoe Chamber’s annual GO Local & Win! contest is kicking off on Small Business Saturday, November 25. Simply pick up a GO Local & Win passport at participating businesses or download one online, then shop or dine at any of the participating business through January 1, 2018. For every $25 spent contestants will receive a stamp on their passport. Completed passports are eligible to up to $500 in cash prizes and those that follow along on the @GOLocalTahoe Facebook page have more opportunities to win.

Instead of going online or off the hill for your holiday shopping, consider a local business.

“Consistent with our mission to develop and promote business, this is our way of adding an extra measure of fun to the holidays,” said Emily Abernathy, Tahoe Chamber Director of Operations.

“For residents, GO Local & Win promotes and rewards the value of shopping and dining locally, with a chance to win gift certificates and a shot at three grand prizes,” Abernathy said. “For business owners and operators, it’s an opportunity to expand their base of customers while supporting the GO Local Tahoe brand.”

Tahoe Chamber knows that shopping locally keeps more money in the local economy. It also helps maintain and support local jobs and instill a sense of pride within our community. “I’m excited to participate in the GO Local holiday campaign because our community needs to feel purpose and I believe showing what is being created in the Shore South is doing just that,” said Karly Mayzen owner of The Tides Project.

Something new for our GO Local followers is the opportunity to hunt down and “capture” a Tahoe Chamber Elf. The Elf on the Shelf will be living at different GO Local businesses throughout the season for guests to come and find. Each week GO Local participants will receive clues about how to spot an Elf. Capture a photo with the Elf and be entered to win more prizes. Make sure to like the GO Local Tahoe Facebook page at www.facebook.com/GOLocalTahoe so you don’t miss out.

The Tahoe Chamber Go Local & Win campaign is made possible by support from our partners; El Dorado County, City of South Lake Tahoe, and the Shops at Heavenly Village. Let’s support the local business that contribute to our economy and community. For more information, visit TahoeChamber.org.
