In an effort to support local business, the Ellington Economic Development Commission (EDC) is sponsoring Shop Ellington 2020, which will run for ten days starting Friday, November 27 through Sunday, December 6. During the event, citizens will earn raffle stickers toward raffle prizes that will be awarded by the EDC at a drawing in mid-December. Patrons can earn stickers by visiting participating Ellington businesses and learning about goods and services, taking tours, or making purchases.
The EDC hopes that Shop Ellington 2020 will connect more patrons and businesses and, if the event is successful, that it will be the first of further annual shop local campaigns.
