Local-Biz-Opoly -RULES

Now more than ever, we invite the community to join us in shopping local for the holidays. The Local-Biz-Opoly game is designed to focus on economic and local business success through participating in shopping local, living local, and serving our local community.

2020 has been quite the year!! The Chamber has been working on ways we can support local businesses, encourage people to shop, eat and support locally outside of what’s already been done. WE are focusing on what we CAN do instead of what we CAN’T do… That said, in advance of the holiday season, we are going to be launching a Local-Biz-Opoly (monopoly) game where people can earn their property card (s) when they eat, shop, give back to participating members on the game board.

We’ll be giving away cash in a raffle drawing – at least $1500 in $250-$500 increments for people that complete a property block on the card.
The participant will visit and make a purchase or show support based on the requirements on the “Local-Biz-Opoly” game board. They then will turn in their Receipts/Brochure/Documentation to the Chamber office and place in NEW Drop-Box/MailBox outside of Chamber Front Door or by email to RavennaChamber@att.net. Participants MUST have completed an entire Property Block and then turn in their Receipts/Brochure/Documentation.

All drawings will take place at the Chamber Office through Facebook Live on

The sidewalks of downtown Ravenna will become a colorful canvas created by artists. Painters of ALL ages will be working to create their incredible works of art during this annual event.
YOU TOO CAN BE A SIDEWALK CHALK ARTIST!
Saturday, September 12, 2020 (Rain Date Sunday, Sept 13) Noon –3pm. Judging begins at 2:30pm
Bring your family a friends to create art in the company of other artists, musicians and art lovers. The celebration centers on Madonnari street painting, an art form dating back to 16th century Italy, where street painters created works of art in front of cathedrals to pay homage to the Virgin Mary.
Sidewalk painters are assigned a square on a first come, first serve basis. A basic chalk kit and blending materials are provided. We recommend bringing knee-pads, sunscreen and a hat. All artwork must be suitable for public viewing. No words or symbols intended as advertising may appear within the image: however after the judging is complete you may sign your name. If your square is sponsored, the sponsors name will appear above the space. Sidewalk artists agree that work done in conjunction with this festival may be reproduced by photograph or video and used by the Ravenna Parks and Recreation Department for promotional purposes. Artists must check in before 12:30pm to avoid their square being given away. All COVID precautions will be taken. You may be notified if staggered start times are needed.
