Shop Knox County eGift Card BOGO Promotion Recap

The Shop Knox County BOGO eGift Cards officially sold out yesterday, and we want to extend a huge thank-you to everyone who participated.

We know the launch came with a few technical issues, and we truly appreciate your patience as those were resolved.

Because of your support, $200,000 is now on its way back into our local businesses - exactly the kind of community impact that this program is built to create.

We're grateful for our Community Partners: City of Vincennes, Knox County, Knox County Indiana Economic Development (KCIED), Knox County Community Foundation, and the Downtown Vincennes Association, whose support makes initiatives like this possible and strengthens our mission of building a strong, connected, local economy.
