Shop small. Eat local. Visit Glen Arbor.

From staff reports

The Glen Lake Chamber has launched its third annual “SHOPtober,” a spend local campaign. All are invited to spend their dollars locally during the month of October for a chance to win Glen Arbor bucks.

HOW IT WORKS: For every cumulative $350 spent on retail/restaurant purchases in the greater Glen Lake area during the month of October, you may enter a drawing to win $100 in Glen Arbor bucks! Collect your proof of purchases in an Event Envelope.*

Place your receipts dated October 1-31, totaling $350 or more in an envelope. Submit your envelope in person to the M22 Store in Glen Arbor no later than November 5, or by mail to: Glen Lake Chamber, PO Box 217, Glen Arbor, MI 49636. Winners will be announced November 10. Maximum of 3 entries per person. Please include your contact info in the envelope submitted.

Two winners will be selected. Bucks will be valid only for one calendar year. Merchants who receive “Glen Arbor Bucks” as a form of payment may be reimbursed by presenting the Chamber with the Glen Arbor Buck used for purchase.
