The Willow Springs Chamber of Commerce and the City of Willow Springs are proud to
announce that March has officially been proclaimed Shop Local Month in Willow Springs.
The proclamation was signed by Willow Springs Mayor, Adam Webb at the February City
Council meeting, recognizing the vital role local businesses play in strengthening the
community and supporting the local economy.
To celebrate Shop Local Month, the Chamber of Commerce is launching an exciting Shop
Local Passport Campaign designed to encourage residents and visitors to explore and
support Chamber member businesses throughout March.
How the Shop Local Passport Works:
• Pick up a Shop Local Passport at the Chamber Office located at 209 E Main Street or
at Robert Hollis Shelter Insurance office located at 120 W Main Street beginning March
1.
• Shop at any of the eligible Chamber member businesses listed on the back of the
passport and make a financial transaction of any kind.
• Receive a signature or stamp from the participating business validating your visit.
• Collect five (5) or more signatures/stamps during the month of March.
• Turn in your completed passport to the Chamber office or Robert Hollis Shelter
Insurance to be entered into a drawing for a prize bag filled with items and gift
certificates from local businesses.
Only businesses listed on the back of the passport are eligible to validate signatures. The
campaign runs throughout the month of March, giving participants plenty of time to discover new favorites and support longtime local staples.
“Shopping local strengthens our community in so many ways,” said Kim McCormick,
Executive Director of the Chamber. “When residents choose to spend their dollars locally,
they are investing in local jobs, local families, and the future of Willow Springs.”
The Willow Springs Chamber of Commerce encourages everyone to take part in Shop Local
Month and experience the value, service, and hometown pride that local businesses provide.
