It's time to board the Greater Hammond Chamber's Small Business Express!
For the second year in a row, the Greater Hammond Chamber is encouraging the community to shop local with 50 participating member retail stores for great gift ideas and a chance to win $2,500 in prize packages. The 24-day holiday shopping event kicks off on Small Business Saturday, Nov. 24, and will run through Monday, Dec. 17.
Event cards can be purchased for $5 online, or in the Greater Hammond Chamber office beginning Friday, Nov. 16. Nine partnering nonprofit organizations are also selling and benefitting from the sale of the cards, and your choice can be indicated when purchasing online.

A cardholder's chances to win prize packages are based on the number of businesses visited and purchases made. Visits are denoted with a single stamp, while purchases are denoted by a double stamp.
