Christmas is just around the corner, and customers of participating businesses throughout Aiken will have a chance to win some extra cash.
The Aiken Chamber of Commerce is giving away a total of $5,000 to encourage people to shop local this holiday season. Nov.1 through Dec.13, customers who spend at least $25 at one of these 28 businesses, which include retailers, restaurants, and medical offices, will receive a red ticket and be entered in weekly drawings for chances to win cash prizes. On Dec.13, the grand prize drawing will be held, and three lucky shoppers will walk away $1,000 richer. The businesses include Cork and Cap, C&C Automotive, Master Chevrolet, Twin Willows Medical and Dental Center and Lionel Smith, Ltd.
The full list of businesses can be found on the Chamber website and its social media accounts, such as Facebook. Each Monday, the Chamber will live-stream the weekly drawings on Facebook, and the grand-prize drawing will be live-streamed on Monday, Dec.13 at 6:22 p.m.
