This Holiday Season the Downtown Fond du Lac Partnership along with Fox Valley Savings Bank made it easy to choose shopping small by offering $500 in downtown gift certificates to one lucky sweepstakes winner.

Shoppers saved their reciepts from shopping in the downtown district. Each $10 spent in downtown earned shoppers one entry into the sweepstakes. In 2021 this sweepstakes generated approximately $42,000 in customer spending.

We are pleased to announce Doreen Drezdon as the 2022 Shop Small Sweepstakes winner! Doreen’s winner entry was from WG&R located at 50 N. Main.

The DFP wants to emphasize the importance of shopping small and shopping local all year round. The holiday season is an especially busy shopping time and we invite you to think of downtown Fond du Lac first. There are a variety of unique, locally-owned businesses that offer personalized services and products. When you shop local and small, you provide job opportunities for your friends and neighbors.
