Atchison County Development Corporation (ACDC) will hold its annual countywide shop local event, #ShopAC, Thursday, November 19. All participating stores will be open until 8:00 that evening, but visit any time that day during their regular business hours. This year, stores may choose to participate during their regular hours on Friday as well, 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 five $200 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 19 (or by 5:00 p.m. on Friday at some locations).
