Shoppers in Atlantic who choose to support the community and local business during the “Tax-Free Weekend,” will have a chance to win an additional $200 in passport bucks donated by Premier Partner First Whitney Bank. All completed passports in the month of August will be entered into a “Back to School” drawing for a chance to win $200 in passport bucks. The Chamber will also continue the monthly drawing for $50 in passport bucks.

The winners of the “Back to School” incentive will be announced the first week of September. Here’s how it works:
1.     Passports are available for pick up at the Atlantic Area Chamber of Commerce or participating businesses.
2.     You receive stamps in the amount of purchases.
3.     Once your passport is complete, you have the option to return the completed passport to the Chamber or participating businesses to be entered into a monthly drawing to win Passport Bucks only redeemable at participating businesses.
4.     At the end of the year, all the completed passports will be eligible for a Grand Prize drawing! Prizes will include Passport Bucks and items provided by participating businesses.
