Shop local to win this Christmas

The trees are in the street and that means one thing: the Find it in Amazing Forbes Christmas promotion has begun.

Each participating business will have a wonderful timber Christmas Tree out the front of their business or close to their front door.

Forbes Business Chamber president Aaron Acheson says the Chamber is so pleased to be able to offer $20,000 in prizes again this year.

"It has been a tough year so the Forbes Business Chamber is delighted to have kept the draws to encourage local shopping," he said.

Prize draws for Why Leave Town dollars begin on November 14.

Please make sure that electronic entry is filled out correctly.

“All you need to do is scan the QR Code in store and fill in the details," Aaron said.

"If you don’t have a phone each store will have a manual sheet that you can fill in. We want to make sure that everyone has a fair turn."

$500 draws will be held on Thursday afternoons: November 14, 21 and 28, and December 5, 12 and 19.

Save the date, December 13, for the AMAZING Forbes Christmas Carnival because there will be five $500 winners that night.
