Glen Arbor’s Season Opener
2024-05-17 - 2024-05-19 | MI
Glen Arbor’s Season Opener
Kick off the season with Glen Arbor’s Season Opener, a fun-filled spend local campaign supporting our businesses!
All are invited to “step up to the plate” and “take a swing” during Glen Arbor’s Season Opener!
Event “Batter Cards” are available at M22 Glen Arbor and Cottonseed Apparel. Take your Batter Card around town to “run the bases” while support local businesses. See what’s new and open for the season! Stop by any six participating businesses in the area to see if you can score a home run! Purchases are encouraged but not required. 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners receive “Glen Arbor Bucks.”
How it works:
The event takes place at your leisure from Friday, May 17th to Sunday, May 19th. Participants can get their Batter Card at M22 Glen Arbor or Cottonseed. The Batter Card has six spaces (or bases) to get stamped. As you spend the weekend in Glen Arbor, ask local businesses to stamp your card. Purchases are encouraged but not required during this “shop small, eat local” campaign. Once all six bases have been stamped, participants should drop off their completed Batter Card to M22 Glen Arbor and Cottonseed. No more than 2 cards per person. 3 winners are selected to receive “Glen Arbor Bucks.” Winners will be announced via the Glen Lake Chamber’s social media pages and email newsletter.
