3) Receive a stamp on your map that you have visited the business.  If the business is closed, you can submit a selfie of yourself in front of the business. Each stamp you receive (or selfie) is an entry into a drawing to win $200.  Complete the map and double your entries into the drawing!

Holiday Trees is back this year, now in Bloomingdale’s Old Town Park. Chamber members are decorating trees that will line the sidewalk, each with a sign showcasing its sponsor. This is a fantastic opportunity for smaller businesses to gain visibility. Hidden in the trees will be a pickle ornament— be the first to find it, snap a selfie, and share it to the Facebook Group BloomingdaleStrong.  The first person to email Contest@BloomingdaleChamber.com with you selfie will win a gift card donated by local businesses. Any selfies maybe posted on Facebook. If you wish not to have your selfie posted, please state that in the email. Names will not be shared on Facebook. The pickle will be hidden again for the next person to find! The trees will be up from November 30 through January 6, just in time for the Village’s Tree Lighting & Kris Kringle Market and the Park District’s Festival of Lights. Special thanks to Platt Hill Nursery for donating the trees and to the Bloomingdale Park District for their assistance with the placing the trees in the park.
