Naturally Lewis: Shop. Eat. Enjoy. Local in Lewis County this Holiday Season
LOWVILLE- The holidays are here and Naturally Lewis (AKA the Lewis County IDA) is encouraging North Country folks to shop, eat and enjoy local.
This includes shopping local for Small Business Saturday, a trend that has gained tremendous popularity across the country.
Focusing local helps jobs remain in our towns and villages. It also keeps your hard-earned dollar right here, helping to support families, local events, sports teams and charities.
In addition, you can show your support for local through a new program via the Chamber of Commerce. It’s called ‘County Ca$h,’ a gift certificate program that works just like cash.
How it works:
- A participating Chamber member accepts County Ca$h as regular payment – straight across dollar for dollar.
- County Ca$h will be used ONLY for the purchase of merchandise or services.
- County Ca$h should be treated as cash and is only valid if raised seal and authorizing signature is present.
- County Ca$h should be presented to the merchant on or before the expiration date.
- Merchants redeem County Ca$h for payment at the Chamber of Commerce, either by mail or in person, on or before the expiration date.
- A check is written within 15 days to the merchant (when mailed) for the total amount of County Ca$h presented.
- County Ca$h may be purchased at the Lewis County Chamber of Commerce by individuals, businesses, and nonprofit organizations for a variety of uses.
For more information contact the Lewis County Chamber at 315-376-2213. You can also learn more about the County Ca$h Program through the chamber’s website.
Lewis County businesses can promote shopping, eating, and enjoying local by displaying campaign signs outside of their business. Visit the IDA office on South State Street to receive your free sign, while supplies last.
