Special guests on the Monday Ed-ition of the Morning Show were Keisha McKinney (and Joshua) who talked about the importance of shopping local this holiday season and a special promotion that the Sevier County Tourism Committee and the Economic Development Office are spearheading to spur local holiday commerce.
Today's Chamber of Commerce "Elves Clues".
Here it is! The FIRST clue in this years Shop Local Campaign! So go out, find those elves, take those “Elfies” while shopping local this Holiday Season!
Did you know that on average, every dollar you spend with local businesses becomes $7 they can use for the local economy? To continue promoting small businesses and shopping local during the holiday season, The De Queen/Sevier County Chamber of Commerce is re-vamping their Shop Local campaign this year with an adult version of “Elf on the Shelf.” The Chamber would like to introduce to you the newest members Cash and Dolly, the Chamber elves. Cash and Dolly will be traveling to various chamber businesses from November 25th through December 21st, except for Sundays. Clues as to Cash and Dolly’s whereabouts will be posted on the De Queen/Sevier County Chamber of Commerce Facebook page daily. Shoppers will have the opportunity to figure out and find the business that has been elfed for that day. Businesses will be running their own special on the days they are visited by the Chamber elves and allow shoppers to spend local dollars while earning entries into the drawing for the Chamber's Ultimate Gift Basket Give Away valued at over $1500. The drawing for the gift basket will be on December 23rd at 10:00 am via Facebook Live. Make sure to keep a lookout for the first clue that will premier early morning on November 25th to begin your "Shop Local" experience.
