Support locally owned, small businesses that are struggling during the pandemic by shopping at local shops in the Tahoe Sierra this holiday season. To encourage local shopping, local groups are offering incentives to do so:

Go Local Passport | Tahoe Chamber is hosting the Go Local program until Jan. 1. Shoppers receive entries to win up to $500 by shopping at participating businesses. | golocaltahoe.com

North Lake Tahoe Shop & Win | The North Lake Tahoe Resort Association and regional business associations have teamed up for a 5-week holiday shopping scavenger hunt.

The contest will run through the Goosechase app, which is free to download and use. Once players join the contest on the App, they will see more than 100 challenges to complete for points. Each week a team/player will be selected to win prizes and at the end, the team/player who acquires the most points will win a grand prize. | gotahoenorth.com/shopandwin

Shop Local 365 Truckee | The Truckee Chamber of Commerce is hosting the #ShopLocal365Truckee program to encourage local shopping, but also to encourage

purchasing services such as car repairs, haircuts, gym classes and dining locally. Shoppers that purchase products or services from local businesses, take a selfie and post it to social media with the hashtag #ShopLocal365Truckee will be entered to win gift cards. |
