November 4, 2026

 
 

It’s a record year for participating merchants in Shop Grand Lake, and that means more opportunities to keep our holiday spending right here at home! Our businesses have stepped up to make this year’s campaign a success. Now, it’s time for all of us to turn that participation into purchases and make the coming weeks count for Grove and Grand Lake.


Our Merchants’ Christmas Open House Weekend kicks off this Friday and Saturday, November 6–7, and shoppers can begin earning Shop Grand Lake tickets on Friday! Make plans to visit participating businesses, explore their holiday specials, and get a head start on your shopping. Bring a friend, enjoy a local meal, and spend the day discovering what our region has to offer. Please check with individual merchants for their hours.


With the ebb and flow of the economy, our local businesses need us more than ever. These are the people who employ our neighbors, sponsor our youth teams, donate to our nonprofits, and help keep our communities moving forward year-round. Where we choose to spend our dollars over the coming weeks matters. Shopping locally helps those businesses continue investing in the place we call home.


This holiday season, take the pledge: Shop. Dine in. Take out. Stop by. Support. Browse. Leave a review for a local business. Whether you are purchasing gifts, ordering lunch for the office, or recommending a favorite store to a friend, every action can help. “Be Local” is a verb—and now is the time to put it into practice.


At participating Shop Grand Lake businesses, shoppers earn one ticket for every $20 spent, with a maximum of 50 tickets per receipt. Tickets can be earned through December 3 at noon, with weekly Sparkle & Shine drawings leading up to the Grand Finale at Lights on Grove on December 4. It’s an opportunity to support local businesses while earning chances to win holiday cash!


Thank you to the participating merchants and sponsors who have invested in this year’s campaign. Your support helps us promote holiday shopping while introducing more people to Grove and Grand Lake as a place to visit, live, and do business.


Let’s make this record year for participation a strong season for our local businesses. Before you head out of town or fill an online cart, give our local businesses the opportunity to earn your business. Keep Grand Lake dollars at Grand Lake. It takes all of us—let’s move forward together as Team Grand Lake!


See you on Friday at Open House Weekend!
