It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas here at The Chronicle as we launch our Christmas promotion in partnership with the Tarkine Progress Group, giving our readers the chance to share in $2000 worth of prizes. Shop local and spend in a participating business and fill out the entry form in store for your chance to win. First prize is a $1000 gift voucher of your choice at one of our participating businesses, second prize a $500 gift voucher, third prize a $250 gift voucher and fourth prize will be a $50 gift voucher with four to be won over the length of the promotion. Saputo have kindly donated the prizes and participating businesses include Belle Body and Soul, Smithton Newsagency, Carter Mechanical, Boots and All, Lizzy’s This n That, Cottage Kitchen Bakehouse, Tru Valu Furnishings, Noun a place for things, Perry’s Quality Meats and Smithton Betta Electrical. The promotion runs through until Monday December 19. The Circular Head Chronicle would also like to take this opportunity to welcome Shannon Carter to the team, who will oversee our Christmas promotion and has taken over a position in our advertising department. We welcome Shannon to The Chronicle and wish all our loyal readers a safe and prosperous festive season.
