HOW
MANY STAMPS YOU'VE COLLECTED
TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE PRIZE DRAWINGS
Here's
how
it
works:
Visit as many
downtown retailers as possible and get your Passport stamped - mail
your completed Passport to 118 Shepard Ave.,
Saranac Lake, 12983 or leave it with Adrienne at the Chamber Office.
The BUY LOCAL
campaign asks the community to be supportive of local, independently
owned businesses. This will help enhance the livability of the
community, the stability and diversity of the local economy, and
support the personal, community, and economic benefits of choosing
local first.

REMEMBER
SHOPPING LOCALLY
AT YOUR DOWNTOWN
STORES:
• Creates local jobs that stay in our community
• Allows us greater control over environmental impacts
• Helps maintain a unique sense of place, directly contributing to
what will keep our home place alive and special in the long-run
• Maximizes the economic multiplier (that means every expenditure
of a dollar generates more than a dollar's worth of acitivity and
cascades into a
larger number of transactions that enrich the community). Choosing
local over
non-local has 2-3 times more financial impact in our community,
promotes more
reinvestment locally, creates quality jobs, and encourages more
donations to local
charities and causes.
