To Celebrate another festive season and support shopping local this Christmas, the Hay Shire Council has organinised another Shop Local Campaign.

From November 18 to December 18, winners can take home a total of $1500 in Love Hay Gift Cards.

Participating businesses will have a red box (pictured) for you to place your purchasing receipts into.

The winner will be drawn at the lighting of the Christmas Tree in Witcombe Place (Lachlan St) on Wednesday 18th December, between 5-7pm, local businesses will also be invited to hold a late night shopping, or stall at the event, where Santa will be making a visit.

Shopping locally this Christmas isn't just to benefit the Customer, but the local economy of Hay.

By supporting the businesses of our friends and families, we’re keeping the town thriving, we’re supporting schools, boosting employment opportunities and we’re strengthening Hay’s future.
