Main Street Toccoa will sponsor an event on November 29,
Small Business Saturday, in historic downtown Toccoa. The event will be a Small Business Saturday
BINGO game. As customers shop, they get
their BINGO card stamped when they browse in a store or make a purchase (no
purchase necessary). Once a row is
completed (it can be horizontal, vertical, or diagonal), the customer fills out
the contact information and leaves the card with any participating merchant. Main Street will pick up the completed cards after
the event. The Winner will be chosen at
random from the pool of completed cards and announced on Friday, December 5 at
the Lighting of the Tree Ceremony at 8:00 p.m. in front of Stephens Federal
Bank. First prize is a $150 gift
certificate, second prize is a $100 gift certificate, and third prize is a $50
gift certificate to the downtown store of the winner’s choice from the
participating stores.
Many of the participating stores will be having special
sales for the event. The participating
stores are:
- {ash-ling} Bookstore
- BJ’s Restaurant
- CK Morgan & Company
- Downtown Flowers
- Feral
- Flip-Flop
- Just Sew Pretty
- Sew Fabulous
- Spa & Salon Anastasia
- The Studio

In 2010, American
Express founded Small Business Saturday to help businesses with their most
pressing need — getting more customers. The day encourages people to shop at
small businesses on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. The single day has grown
into a powerful movement, and more people are taking part than ever before.
Customers can pick up a BINGO card at the Main Street office
any time before the event or on the day of the event at any participating
business. For more information, please
contact Weslie Clark at 706-282-3232.
