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
