Local merchants and the Clarendon Chamber of Commerce will make shopping at home pay off during Small Business Saturday and throughout the holiday season.
The fourth annual “Shop Small” promotion from the Clarendon Chamber of Commerce will put a grand total of $550 in Chamber Christmas Cash in the hands of lucky winners who shop with local merchants.
Sign-ups at participating merchants will begin Friday, November 28, for drawings that will be held for $100 each Friday on December 5, 12, and 19.
To enter, shoppers will fill out an entry at local participating merchants. The Chamber will gather them up each Friday morning, and hold the drawings live on the Chamber’s Facebook.
Enter as many times as you shop locally, so shop often. Entries stay in the hopper each week, so those who enter will have multiple chances of winning.
As of Monday morning, those merchants participating this year are: Amanda’s Country Soaps, Clarendon Outpost, Country Bloomers Flowers, Every Nook & Cranny, Floyd’s Automotive, Henson’s, Garrison’s, J&W Lumber, Lowe’s Family Center, Monroe’s Peach Ranch, Mulkey Theatre, Mike’s Pharmancy, Ramblin’ Ranch Boutique, REFZ Sports Bar & Grill, and Whistle Stop. Other Chamber members wishing to participate can call the Visitor Center at 806-874-2421.
The Chamber will also hold a bonus drawing for $250 in Chamber Christmas Cash on December 19. Sign-up for the bonus drawing will be held starting December 1 at the Clarendon Visitor Center. Shoppers can bring their receipts and receive one entry for every $25 spent at the participating merchants.

Shop at home this holiday season and remember the important role your local merchants play in keeping your community strong. Support the businesses who support your town
Small Business Saturday began in 2010 when it was founded by American Express to help small businesses get more exposure during one of the biggest shopping weekends of the year.
According to small business advocates, every $100 spent in locally-owned stores returns $68 to the local community through taxes, payrolls, and other expenditures. That same money spent in another town or online returns nothing to your local community.
