Oyen Christmas Market returns with ‘Passport to Christmas’ Shop Local Contest

The Oyen & District Chamber of Commerce is bringing back its popular Christmas Market this December. Schindel Agencies will welcome the public from 5 to 8 p.m. every Thursday leading up to Christmas. Hot dogs and refreshments are compliments of the Chamber.

Local vendors and home-based businesses can reserve a table for $10 or make a donation to the food bank by contacting the Chamber at 403-664-1404. The table fee and food donations all go to the Oyen & District Food Bank. Space is limited, so early booking is encouraged.

The Chamber is also hosting its “Passport to Christmas” contest to encourage shoppers to support local businesses. Starting Monday, Dec. 1, customers can pick up a Passport at participating businesses and receive a stamp for each purchase. Once completed, Passports can be submitted for a chance to win weekly prizes every Friday in December.

There is no limit to the number of entries, so shoppers are invited to participate as often as they like.

The Chamber encourages everyone to keep their seasonal dollars in the community while enjoying the festive market and shopping locally.
