In a creative twist on traditional holiday shopping, a festive bingo game in Midtown Detroit is making waves this season by supporting local businesses. Charlotte Sarnacki, co-owner of City Bird and Nest, sat down with Local 4 News to discuss how the game is encouraging community engagement while boosting sales for small enterprises.
This holiday season, participating players can pick up a bingo card at various local stores, including City Bird and Nest. As they shop at different businesses, they mark off squares by completing fun tasks, such as purchasing holiday gifts or enjoying a meal at a local restaurant. The first to complete a row will win a special prize, creating an enjoyable challenge for participants and driving foot traffic to the businesses involved.
The initiative not only brings a sense of camaraderie among local shoppers but also injects much-needed support into the community’s economy. Small business owners have faced myriad challenges during recent years, making this collaboration even more vital. The bingo game is a playful reminder that shopping locally can have lasting benefits, especially during the bustling holiday season.
“It’s all about fostering connections and creating an enjoyable shopping experience,” Sarnacki mentioned during her interview. “We’re excited to bring our community together in such a unique way and help local businesses thrive.”
As the holiday season approaches, this bingo game highlights the importance of community support and the joy that comes from shopping local. Tune in for more inspiring stories and stay updated on the latest from Southeast Michigan by subscribing to WDIV Local 4 News on YouTube!
