Derek Banville has won The Boro’s first Holiday Shopping Passport early bird draw of 2021.
Banville’s completed Holiday Shopping Passport was drawn on Dec. 1 at The Pasta Shop located at 165 Sherbrooke St. in downtown Peterborough.
Banville’s winning passport came from Wild Rock Outfitters, where he purchased a new bike for his son’s November birthday. Derek was granted his $500 Boro gift card prize by shop owner Scott Murison at Wild Rock Outfitters on Dec. 2.
“My family loves shopping at Wild Rock. It’s our go-to place for camping gear. We are so grateful to win the first Holiday Shopping Passport draw of the year- and can’t wait to add a little more adventure under the tree this holiday season with our prize money,” said Banville.
Locals are encouraged to pick up a Holiday Shopping Passport at any one of the 150+ participating shops, boutiques, salons, restaurants, and cafes in downtown Peterborough. Each completed Holiday Shopping Passport increases the chance to win up to $1,500 in Boro gift cards.
With the holidays currently in full swing- there are still lots of opportunities to win BIG this festive season with two more $500 early bird draws coming up this December and the $1,500 grand prize in early January:
Early Bird #2 — $500, Dec. 8.
Early Bird #3 — $500, Dec. 15.
Grand Prize — $1,500, Jan. 12.
During Holiday Passport season shoppers receive a stamp every time they spend $10 at a participating downtown business. When a passport is filled (20 stamps), Passport holders simply complete the contact form located at the bottom of their passport and drop it off at a ballot box at any participating business.
Eager stamp collectors are welcome to collect free stamps at the Peterborough Public Library, Peterborough & the Kawarthas Visitors Centre, and the Boro Holiday Hub (located at 373 George St.)
