In a spirited extension of Small Business Week, which concluded last weekend, the Munster Chamber of Commerce is set to launch its first-ever Shop Small Crawl—an event designed to showcase the outstanding businesses in town.
With the Shop Small Crawl, the Munster Chamber of Commerce underscores its commitment to fostering a thriving local economy. “We see this as an event to highlight the fantastic small businesses of Munster, build community, and encourage residents to visit businesses they may not have patronized before,” said Katie Sannito, Chairman of the Munster Chamber Board.
Many residents are eagerly anticipating the chance to explore their town’s hidden gems and show support for the local businesses that form the backbone of the community. “People can expect a really fun shopping day. Each business is offering a special promotion,” Sannito said. “We’re going to have a lively shopping experience with everyone out and about.”
Adding an extra layer of excitement, participants will have the opportunity to fill out their passport cards at each stop, earning stamps to enter a raffle for a coveted basket of gifts valued over an impressive $2000. “Every business generously contributed something to the basket, so the winner is in for a treat,” Sannito added. The raffle drawing will take place after the Shop Small Crawl concludes. Everyone is encouraged to visit 313 Taproom at 4:00 PM for the drawing and to get to know others in the community.
