Scott’s winning passport came from Avant-Garden, where she purchased garden supplies and some Christmas presents for her family during a customer appreciation event on Nov. 22. She was granted her $500 Boro gift card prize by Avant-Garden’s customer service representative Marissa Dunk on Dec. 14.

Scott’s completed Holiday Shopping Passport was drawn at Poco Burro, a new Mexican grill restaurant in downtown Peterborough.

“Growing up in Peterborough, downtown was my favourite place to shop and explore. Supporting downtown really helps our local economy,” says Scott. “What a delightful surprise to win the early bird draw. I am excited to shop the many charming stores located in the heart of our city with my Boro gift card.”

Each $10 spent earns a stamp, and every full card ($200 spent) earns a ballot for the grand prize of a $1,500 Boro Gift Card drawn on Jan. 11. The third and final early bird draw will take place on Dec. 21.

Holiday passports can be picked up at any of 150 participating businesses in downtown Peterborough. Multiple ballots are accepted and can be dropped off at any ballot box in a participating business.
