For every $10 you spend at a participating local business, check off a box on your “Spirit Card.” For financial institutions and service type businesses, one box per visit, phone call or appointment. If you donate to a local nonprofit, please write Give in the boxes for the amount donated. You can donate online just go to the nonprofit link. Many other local businesses offer professional services. They want to support shop locally and we thank them for their support.
Once 20 boxes are filled, submit your “Spirit Card” in your hometown to be entered for the Community Prize or email a photo of the front of your card to keepitlocalcc@gmail.com. Drawing for up to a minimum of (3) $50 Gift Cards. All participants will also be automatically entered in the Columbia County Prize Drawing on January 6th, 2021, a prize valued at $150.00.
Thank you to Wauna Federal Credit Union for their sponsorship of this program for the 5th year in a row! Last year this program tracked $96,000 spent in local businesses. Thank you to businesses like RA Construction Inc., Rooted Relaxation Massage, Comforting Medical Supply, and All About Pets who donated additional gift cards as prizes.

Holiday Gift Guide
This year we will publish a digital catalog to encourage shop local for the holidays. Each participating Catch the Holiday Spirit business has submitted an item, offers gift cards, and many Professional Services businesses are supporting shop local.
The digital catalog is designed so when you click on the price of the item, it will take you to the business website to purchase or contact information to get more information or help purchasing.
The catalog can be seen below. The Holiday Gift Guide will be posted and shared on social media to celebrate Shop Small Saturday. We want to provide some great gift suggestions to purchase gifts where you live! Remember for every dollar you spend locally that dollar is respent 6 times (AMIBA, American Independent Business Alliance).
