Description:
The Spring Hill Chamber is spearheading its annual Think, Shop, Explore Local Passport program that will run in October-November 2023. This educational and shop local passport program is a supplement to Experience Spring Hill, The Event aimed at encouraging Spring Hill residents to get to know the area's retail businesses, restaurants, local services, and other providers with grand prize incentives. The program will run for several weeks in October-November 2023.
Overview of program:
Beginning in October residents will pick up a Think, Shop, Explore Local passport at any participating business. They will be encouraged to visit as many of the participating businesses during the program to receive a sticker for their passport. To qualify for the grand prize, residents must collect a set number of stickers plus the final sticker from the Spring Hill Chamber Welcome Center. Completed passports must be turned in on or before the established deadline to the Spring Hill Chamber Welcome Center at 5326 Main Street. A drop box will also be located on the front porch of the Welcome Center for convenience. Winners will be announced at the end of the event on the Spring Hill Chamber’s Facebook page. A detailed list of participating businesses and prizes will be on the Chamber's website.
