Berthoud is celebrating its local businesses this holiday season and inviting residents to join the festivities through its Shop Local program. The program rewards shoppers for supporting the heart of the community: Berthoud’s shops, restaurants and services. All year long, every purchase you make in Berthoud is a gift to your favorite business, but from Nov. 30-Dec. 22, 2024, it’s also a chance to win one of 40 $75 gift cards or a gift basket worth about $500.
Here’s how it works: for every purchase of $10 or more at Berthoud storefront shops or holiday markets, write your name and phone number on the back of the original receipt and drop it off at one of three locations: Town Hall’s outdoor utility drop box, the drop box at the front desk of Town Hall or the Berthoud Recreation Center. Each entered receipt qualifies you for weekly gift card drawings. While you can submit as many receipts as you’d like, each participant is limited to one prize per weekly drawing.
“We really appreciate our business community, and we are so fortunate that we are able to support this program every year,” says Walt Elish, economic development manager. “It gives us a chance to directly support the businesses by purchasing gift cards and hopefully inspires people to visit local mom-and-pop businesses and maybe discover a new favorite shop.”
Drawings will be held Dec. 9, 16, and 23, with winners notified by 5 p.m. each Monday. The grand finale is a grand prize gift basket valued at about $500, drawn from all eligible entries on Dec. 23. Winners can pick up their prizes at Berthoud’s Town Hall Monday through Thursday, from 7 a.m.-5:15 p.m., through Jan. 6, 2025. Thank you for choosing to shop locally this season. With each purchase, you support the businesses that make Berthoud an extraordinary place to live and work.
