DOVER—
The Greater Dover Chamber of Commerce’s Passport to Prizes holiday raffle program concluded on Friday, December 23, with George Perrine winning the grand prize drawing. Perrine won a prize package that included a rocking chair from Ross Furniture, $10 in parking tokens from the City of Dover and gift certificates to Red’s Shoe Barn, Lucy’s Emporium and the Dover Adult Learning Center.
The Passport to Prizes program encouraged Garrison City residents to shop locally at 19 participating Dover businesses. Starting on Black Friday, shoppers stamped their Passport at five or more businesses and then submitted it to the Chamber of Commerce to be entered into five raffle drawings. In addition to Perrine, Joanne Straight, Peter Lambert, Sandy Ho and Sharon Polizzotti all received prize packages that were comprised of local gift baskets and gift cards.
“We had a lot of fun with the Passport to Prizes program,” commented John Straight, whose wife, Joanne, was a raffle prizewinner. “We don’t like going to the malls and enjoy shopping local, so we had the Passport completed in the first weekend.”
Nearly 40 completed Passports were submitted to the Chamber of Commerce before the December 16 deadline and an increase in business was noticed by many of the participating stores.
“I thought the Passport to Prizes program went really well,” commented Anne Nichols, Owner of K9 Kaos. “I know for sure that we got new customers that came in because of the program, which is great. We stamped a lot of cards and people really got into it.”
Participating businesses included: Red’s Shoe Barn, Jewelry Creations, One Second Computers, Ross Furniture, Janetos Suprette, Naser Jewelers, Nicole’s Hallmark, Central Paint & Coatings, Photosmith, K9 Kaos, Strafford Appliance, Herbal Path, Noggin Factory, Philbrick’s Sports, Ralph’s House of Tone, Lucy’s Emporium, Dover Cyclery, PagePro Wireless and Dover Wine.
