Shop Local Business Bingo

Congratulations to our Bingo Winners: Carla Thiessen, Maddy Heinrichs, William Dyck, Amy Schwitteck, Mark Dupuis, Quinn Hildebrand and Renae Friesen.

It was so nice to hear from every winner that they went to businesses that they had not previously patronized and "they will be back!". Everyone had fun and hoped that we will do this again.

Thank you to the 27 Chamber Members who participated. We hope you had fun too.
