Atchison County Development Corporation (ACDC) is making plans for its annual #ShopAC event Thursday, November 20. All participating stores will be open until 8:00 p.m. that evening. This year, stores may choose to participate during their regular hours on Friday as well, in order to give shoppers an additional day to fill their passports. This will be noted on the passport.

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 10 $100 gift certificates to an Atchison County business of your choice.  In order to be entered in the drawing, passports can be returned to any participating business by 8:00 p.m. on Thursday, November 20 (or by 5:00 p.m. on Friday at some locations).

The following businesses have confirmed participation (as of press time):

Fairfax – CH-F Auxiliary Gift Shop, Daybreak Café, KG Buds Designs by Jay, and The Gas Spot

Rock Port – A Touch of Glass, Alma’s Herbs, Burlap & Bows/Creekside Auto Wash, Food Country, Flying Designs, Jumpstart Nutrition, Midwest Massage, River Rock Lanes, Trail’s End, and VitaFuel
