Christmas promotions
There will be discussion on Christmas promotions and events including:
• Chamber Food Drive on now until December 9. Chamber members will be collecting food for the Moosomin Food Share Christmas Hampers. The Food Share says donations are down this year and demand is up, so the Chamber wants to help fill the hampers for Christmas. Food donations can be dropped off at Glasser’s TV Service, Celebration Ford, Andrew Agencies or the World-Spectator.
• Moonlight Madness on Thursday, November 30 from 5-9 pm. Shoppers will have the chance to win $500, $250, or $100 in Moosomin Bucks by shopping at five stores and getting their cash card stamped. One new addition to Moonlight Madness this year is an art and craft market at the Legion Hall. The art and craft market is being organized by the Moosomin Visual Arts Centre.
• Santa Day on Saturday, December 9. The Kinettes will organize photos with Santa in the morning, and the Chamber of Commerce will sponsor a free matinee movie at the Community Theatre in the afternoon.
• Countdown to Christmas Draw December 11-17. Shoppers can win $500, $250, or $100 in Moosomin Bucks by having their cash card stamped at five businesses by making a purchase this week. The draw was planned to coincide with the Pipe-Si-Cana Games.
• Pipe-Si-Cana Games December 15, 16 and 17. The town recreation department is planning the return of the Pipe-Si-Cana Winter Games, hoping to attract a lot of people to Moosomin for a long list of events.
