Shopping Local Matters. Let's Tell Everyone!

Locally-owned businesses knit the fabric of this community together. Can you imagine your town without that special ice cream shop, boutique, or tap room? Many small businesses don't have the deep financial reserves to protect them from the something as unforeseen as the impact of a global pandemic. Just as they have been there for us; creating the character that makes our communities unique, we need to be there for them. Shopping local matters, and we invite you to help us share that message. 

Download the coloring sheet below, decorate with vibrant colors, and send it to the Chamber office. We'll distribute them to member businesses to hang in their windows as a show of support. Or, you can drop it off at a location near you.

Anoka Area Chamber Produces "Shopping Local Matters" Coloring Sheet!
You already know how vital it is for our friends and neighbors to shop locally, and with many of our Anoka Area Chamber of Commerce businesses now able to re-open and others still shuttered or working at limited capacity, it’s critical. The Chamber wants to remind our communities that shopping local matters...immensely. So, we’ve created a visual reminder.
The coloring sheet is designed not only to provide an activity for kids (or adults) but also as an important message to our communities. Using social media, local publications, and our web site, we’ll be distributing the blank sheets and inviting the public to make their own and send it back to the chamber. We encourage you to download the image below and post it to your social media outlets. The completed works of art will be displayed in the windows of our members’ businesses.
Submissions accepted through June 15, 2020.
If you’d like to display some of the submissions in your windows, let the Chamber staff know. They will be sending completed submissions to those who’d like to participate.
Everyone who sends in a completed submission will be entered into a drawing to receive a gift card from one of our member businesses.
