The Main Street/Better Hometown Blackshear and the Pierce County Chamber of Commerce programs are excited to announce the 2025 Shop Small Christmas Crawl, a festive initiative to encourage local shopping and dining this holiday season.
The event runs from now through December 20.
Anyone can join the Christmas Crawl by picking up a special punch card at any participating Chamber or Main Street member business. Each card represents $200 spent locally and features 10 spaces worth $20 each. Shoppers and diners can get their card marked off as they make purchases at participating retailers and restaurants.
Once the card is fully completed, it can be turned in at the Pierce County Chamber of Commerce or Main Street office by December 20. Every completed card serves as an entry into the prize drawing, with the lucky winner receiving a gift basket brimming with gift cards and goodies generously donated by participating businesses.
“This is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate our local businesses and keep holiday spending close to home,” said Main Street Manager Bethany Strickland. “Every dollar spent locally has a direct impact on our community, and this program makes it fun and rewarding for everyone involved.”
The Shop Small Christmas Crawl aligns with the mission of both organizations to promote economic growth and community connection.
“Blackshear is a town built on its strong sense of community,” said Chamber Director Christi Pitts. “By shopping and dining locally, we’re investing in our neighbors and ensuring a bright future for our small businesses.”
