Retail Christmas Open House this Saturday, Nov. 13! By Emma Cline This Saturday, local businesses in Alva will be open for the Alva Chamber’s Retail Christmas Open House Event! This annual event offers local businesses the chance to show off their new holiday inventory and holiday sales. The Alva Chamber wants to encourage you to shop local Alva this holiday season by participating in this shopping event! We will advertise in this week’s Newsgram the list of businesses that will be open this Saturday. We will also post the list on our Facebook page so that you know where to shop on Saturday.  The Candy Cane Cash Giveaway is another reason for you to get out and shop local this Saturday during the Christmas Open House! Participating businesses are giving out a ticket for each purchase, which gets you a chance to win the drawing for Chamber Bucks! The drawing will take place virtually on December 3 at 6:00pm, so be sure to enter your tickets every time you make a local purchase.

The money given away at the end of the promotion is given in the form of Chamber Bucks so that it can only be spent in Alva, and the money stays in the community. The amounts given away will be determined by the sponsorships raised, so please help us make this year's giveaway an amazing one! The deadline for retailers to notify the Alva Chamber of their participation is November 18, 2021, so please contact us before then to be a sponsor.
