Moonlight madness this Wednesday

The Moosomin Chamber of Commerce’s kickoff to the Christmas shopping season takes place this Wednesday with Moonlight Madness.
Stores will be open until 10 p.m. and the chamber will be giving away $850 in Moosomin Bucks—a first prize of $500, second prize of $250 and third prize of $100.
Participating businesses will be handing out Christmas Cash Cards to people who make a purchase. Shoppers can make a purchase at four other businesses, then enter to win in the draw for Moosomin Bucks. There will be 27 businesses participating in the promotion
To help people wrap up their Christmas shopping, the Moosomin Kinettes will be offering giftwrapping at RONA in exchange for a donation to the Kinettes’ playground fund. The Kinettes are raising money for a playground at Bradley Park. People can bring any unwrapped gift and have the Kinettes wrap it for them.
Kari Murray of the Chamber of Commerce said there was good response from businesses to the idea of Moonlight Madness.
“Everybody was very happy to see we are trying to take a new approach,” she said. “I’m looking forward to the feedback. I think we’re going to get a lot of shoppers out that night and I think it’ll be a lot of fun.”
