‘March into Spring’ urges safe, local shopping

The Union County Chamber of Commerce and La Grande Main Street are launching “March into Spring” to encourage safe shopping during the month of March.

LA GRANDE — The Union County Chamber of Commerce and La Grande Main Street have teamed up with local businesses to encourage safe shopping and provide opportunities for prizes as spring moves closer.

“March into Spring” runs the whole month of March, according to the press release from the chamber. Shoppers just have to grab a punch card and shop at any participating location to collect punches. Each dollar spent earns a punch.

Visit the chamber or Main Street’s websites and social media for participating locations and specials. And the first punch is a “freebie” that requires no purchase.

Then turn in punch cards on March 10, 17 and 24 at any participating location, including La Grande Main Street, 102 Depot St., and the chamber, 207 Depot St., both in La Grande, for drawings for prizes.

Turn in your last card March 31 by 4 p.m. for the chance to win the grand prize drawing on April 1. That drawing includes all punch cards that shoppers turned in throughout the month.

Then look to chamber or Main Street’s social media that day to see who won the grand prize.
