This year's Shopping Spree will be held over a week. Shoppers who have a passport (ticket) will be able to shop (subject to opening hours and shopper density restrictions for each individual business) at their leisure during the week of November 8-14 inclusive.
The Shopping Spree is a fundraiser for 70 Lowe Street and Garden View Court aged care at East Grampians Health Service.
"The week-long format last year worked well for both businesses and shoppers so we decided to continue with this format, to allow a COVID-safe shopping experience for our passport holders, as well as showing support for our local businesses who have experienced another very difficult year," Residents' Support Group president Marlene Goudie said.
"Businesses are offering a generous discount for passport holders, so as well as picking up some great bargains and early Christmas presents, you will be helping our local businesses and also raising funds for aged care at East Grampians Health Service."
