The Chamber is excited to partner with the Tiffin-Seneca Economic Partnership to launch of the Shop Small, Win Big! contest, made possible by a generous $500 donation from an anonymous private citizen in Tiffin. This initiative aims to encourage residents to support locally owned businesses during the holiday season and beyond.


Now through January 31, 2024, individuals can enter the contest by purchasing items from any participating locally owned business in the Tiffin area. Entries are limited to one per person per business per day, providing multiple opportunities for community members to participate and win. For a full list of participating business, check out the Facebook event here.


Any locally owned business in Tiffin is eligible to participate in this year’s contest, however, businesses must pick up entry tickets at the TSEP/Chamber Offices Monday through Friday, 8 am to 5 pm.


The grand prize winner will be selected on Friday, February 9th, at noon, with Tiffin Mayor Lee Wilkinson drawing the winning ticket on Facebook Live. One lucky winner will walk away with $500 as a thank-you for shopping locally this holiday season.

Chamber Cash, sponsored by Old Fort Banking Company, is perfect for giving to everyone on your list – friends, coaches, teachers, and family members.  The program has more than 175 local businesses that accept Chamber Cash. 


They are available in $5, $10, $25, and $50 denominations. Call 419-447-4141 with any questions. Cash and check only. Pick up date/time will be arranged when we call you. All Christmas orders must be arranged for pick up by this Wednesday, December 20th. You can now order online here.
