Brittany Henry, the JACVB executive director says shoppers who spend $25 or more at any small, locally owned business or local restaurant in Jacksonville may submit the receipt for entry in the drawing.
They can be submitted by sending a photo via Facebook or Instagram message to the JACVB, or e mail a photo to visitors@jacksonvilleil.org, or text a photo to 371-2602.
A $250 winner will be selected each week, and a local business listed on the winning receipt gets $250.
