Shop Southern Illinois Fifteen area Chambers of Commerce along with a Main Street program and several regional businesses have teamed up this holiday season in an effort to encourage Southern Illinoisans to do a majority of their holiday shopping in the region, rather than traveling out of the area or shopping online. The effort, called “Shop Southern Illinois,” features a strong social media presence where residents can learn some of the reasons it is important for Southern Illinoisans to shop locally and where they may pledge to do most of their own holiday shopping in the region by using the hashtag #IBuySI. By making a post or tweet with the #IBuySI hashtag, participants are entered in weekly drawings to win prizes starting October 20. The Franklin County Chambers' prize will be awarded December 15. The Franklin County Chambers prize currently includes: Pizza Gift Certificates from Casey's Gift Certificate from The Coffeehouse Want to be part of the fun? Help fill the sleigh! Thank you to the West Frankfort Chamber for providing the adorable sleigh!
