Committee considers month-long restaurant promotion, prize to boost local dining
Summary
Members discussed a promotional campaign for local restaurants and food shops (map, discounts or a ticket-stamp program) possibly running through October with a $50 prize for participants.
Chair outlined an idea to include local restaurants, diners and food shops on a town map and offer incentives such as a 10% discount or a stamped-ticket program that could qualify participants for a $50 prize to be redeemed at one of the participating restaurants. She suggested expanding the idea from a single day to a month-long October promotion to encourage repeat visits.
Members discussed logistics (printing maps, digital distribution via Facebook, stamp logistics and prize funding) and cautioned about the infrastructure needed to run a one-day centralized event. No formal vote or budget appropriation was taken; the idea remains at the planning stage.
