After you Vote Local, it’s time to Shop Local! The holiday season approaches quickly every year, and Thanksgiving comes early this year. So, the Holidays will be here before you know it!
Join us on Saturday, November 24th for a game of “Buy Local Bingo” on Shop Local Saturday. This event is happening at businesses along Washington Avenue in Portland from 12 to 6 p.m. It’s free to join in the fun! And we’ll have a social hour with prizes at 5 p.m. at Oxbow (49 Washington Avenue).
From 12 to 5 p.m., stop by any participating business (see our website for full list) to get a Bingo card. Simply visit a shop and get a sticker from the staff to check that business off on your card. Once you get five in a row, you can drop off your card at Oxbow. Or stick around for a social hour!
If you can’t join us on the 24th, our Holiday Gift Guide features dozens of local items. You can check out the full guide on our website (www.portlandbuylocal.org/giftguide).
