Mark your calendars for ACDC’s annual #ShopAC event! Many of your favorite stores in Atchison County will be open until 8:00 p.m. on Thursday, November 21, offering specials or highlighting specific products. Please make time that day to support our local businesses and explore what we have to offer right here in Atchison County.

The more you shop, the more chances you have to win. Passports will be available at all participating locations that day. With each store you visit all day until 8:00 p.m. that Thursday, your passport will be marked, and you’ll be entered to win one of three $100 gift certificates to any business in Atchison County. If you make a purchase at a participating store that day, your passport will be marked a second time, which will enter you in a drawing for a $200 gift certificate to an Atchison County business of your choice. In order to be entered in the drawing, passports must be returned to any participating business by 8:00 p.m. on Thursday, November 21. The drawing will be held soon after the #ShopAC event and gift certificates must be used by December 25.
