Passport to Christmas

The promotion begins Friday, November 17th and runs to Sunday, December 17th, 2023. Take advantage of the double stamp weekends on Dec. 1st to 3rd and Dec. 15th to 17th. The process is simple; make a purchase of any amount at a participating business and receive a stamp on your passport. When you have 5 stamps, complete the entry portion at the bottom of your passport and drop it in an entry box located at a participating store or restaurant. Whether you’re getting your Christmas shopping done, buying a little something for yourself or enjoying a meal with family and friends, there’s so many ways to fill your passport and spread some local love this holiday season. (Note: More than one purchase/stamp from the same business is acceptable.)

Pick up a passport at a participating location to get started on your stamp collecting and fill up as many passports as you can. All eligible entries will be entered to win one of the grand prize baskets. The prize baskets will have extra goodies thanks to the support of the partner businesses; Bill’s Quality Pest Control, Cable Cable, Fenelon Station Gallery, Haus Simply, Journey of Life Celebrations, and Pro-Wildlife Services Ltd. Draws will be made at the end of December.

For more information contact Marylee at the Fenelon Falls Chamber of Commerce (705)887-3409 or hello@explorefenelonfalls.com.
