ACDC’s #ShopAC event will be held on Thursday, November 19. This is an all-day event, with participating locations staying open until 8:00 p.m.

The more stores you support, the more chances you have to win! Passports will be available at all participating locations that day. When you make a purchase at a participating business during the #ShopAC event, your passport will be marked by a store employee. That purchase will earn an entry into the drawing for one of five $100 gift certificates 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 19.

All shoppers are encouraged to abide by safety guidelines set forth by each store.

Given COVID concerns this year, some individuals may be uncomfortable joining this event. In this case, you are encouraged to place an online order that day with any of the participating retailers who offer this service. (Store websites will be provided in an upcoming article.) Online orders will also enter you into the $100 gift certificate drawing. If you are unable to support the participating stores in person or online that day, you may call the ACDC office with your name and phone number to be entered to win a $25 gift certificate to an Atchison County store of your choice.

ACDC is finalizing the list of participating businesses. If your business would like to participate (public locations only), contact ACDC (660-744-6562 or acdc@atchisoncounty.org) by Tuesday, November 3.
