Spend $27 on the 27th to infuse local economy

Have you wondered about the wide-eyed frog, “Hopper the Shopper,” that has been leaping onto the pages of The Northeast Georgian?

Hopper’s message, worth repeating, is this: Keep it local.

The Northeast Georgian – once again partnering with the Habersham County Chamber of Commerce, and Main Street programs in Clarkesville and Cornelia – announces the 2021 Shop Habersham campaign.

This year, we invite you to focus on Saturday, Nov. 27, and encourage you to spend at least $27 to infuse our local economy.

Many merchants will offer special discounts Nov. 27, sandwiched between Black Friday and Cyber Monday, both heavy holiday shopping days.

Additionally, look for the special pages in the Nov. 19 and Nov. 26 editions of The Northeast Georgian, highlighting participating advertisers and more information about the benefits of keeping your purchases local.

Receipts from any local purchase of $27 or more made Nov. 27 can be turned in for a drawing, with winners to be announced in the Dec. 10 Weekend edition of The Northeast Georgian. The deadline to turn in receipts is Wednesday, Dec. 8, at 5 p.m.

Below, you can find the list of prizes that will be given out.

The drop-off location for all receipts is The Northeast Georgian office, located at 2440 Old Athens Highway, Cornelia.
