The Jefferson Matters: Main Street Promotions Committee is encouraging everyone to visit the downtown district this month and next month with their “Think Local/Shop Local” campaign.

Committee Chair Deb McGinn says from now until November 15th, you can have a chance to win a $100 gift certificate during the “Think Local/Shop Local” campaign.  Customers can pick up a punch card at the Printer’s Box, Homestead Coffee and Bakery or Greene Bean Coffee and if you get the entire card filled, then you will be entered into a drawing for a $100 gift certificate to the participating businesses.

McGinn notes that you don’t have to purchase anything, just get your card filled out.  Plus, while you’re at any of the participating area businesses, you can learn about why it’s important to shop locally with posters of information and it will allow you to find out about other great deals going on in Jefferson.

Punch cards must be turned into the Printer’s Box by November 15th to be eligible for the drawing.
