DETROIT, MI – This holiday season, a festive twist is helping to boost local businesses in Detroit’s vibrant Midtown area. Charlotte Sarnacki, co-owner of City Bird and Nest, recently appeared on Local 4 News to discuss an innovative holiday bingo game designed to encourage community engagement while supporting local shops.
The holiday bingo game invites participants to visit various local businesses, collecting stamps on their bingo cards as they shop. By shopping at participating stores throughout the neighborhood, players not only have a chance to win prizes but also foster a sense of community during the bustling holiday season.
“It’s not just about encouraging people to spend money; it’s about creating relationships,” Sarnacki said. “We want to make holiday shopping fun and engaging while supporting the local economy.” With each stamp collected, players are one step closer to filling their bingo cards, making every purchase feel rewarding.
This initiative highlights the importance of small businesses, especially during the holiday season when many are struggling to stay afloat. From unique gifts to handmade goods, Midtown’s shops offer a plethora of options that can’t be found in large chain stores.
Local 4 News showcases this exciting bingo game as an example of how communities can come together in support of their local economy. As the holiday season progresses, events like this remind us that shopping local not only contributes to sustaining these businesses but also strengthens community ties. So, gather your friends and family, grab your bingo cards, and get ready to shop local this holiday season!
