Revitalizing Waterbury's has several holiday efforts underway to support local businesses including the annual Wrap It Up & Win shopping promotion starting Friday, Nov. 26, with nearly 50 businesses involved. Participating merchants, restaurants, etc. will have the program's snowman sign displayed in their windows and cards on hand for customers to take. People receive a stamp on their card when they visit participating locations. Once the card has five stamps, they can be dropped at designated locations to be included in weekly drawings in December for gift cards and other prizes. There is no limit on the number of entries. A list of participating businesses is online at DiscoverWaterbury.com/holidays. 

The promo ties in with the group’s encouragement to local shoppers to support local merchants on Small Business Saturday, Nov. 27.

Also online is Revitalizing Waterbury's Very Merry Waterbury Gift Guide listing area shops, restaurants, and other businesses offering special items, offers, etc. for the holiday season. It will be updated weekly during the holiday season. The RW website’s calendar will keep track of local holiday events and programs. In addition to its website, RW will post updates on social media at facebook.com/discoverwaterbury or instagram.com/waterburyvermont.
