Any last minute Christmas shoppers can stop into the Greene County Chamber and purchase Chamber Bucks.
Tourism and Events Coordinator Angie Pedersen says Chamber bucks work the same way as cash at any Chamber member business. They are offered in several increments and it’s a great way to support the local economy.
“You can just put them in your stockings or give them as Christmas gifts. Businesses oftentimes buy reams of them and give them to their employees. It’s a wonderful incentive and makes a fantastic gift. The money stays right here in Greene County because they are only redeemable at Chamber (member) businesses.”
Last year, over $40,000 in Chamber Bucks were purchased. Pedersen believes that they will surpass that figure this year. Each person that buys Chamber bucks will also receive a flyer with all the members that accept Chamber Bucks.
