Charmed in Gresham Oregon

Start your charm collection today with a treasure hunt in East County!  As I told you last week the Try Local First Coalition has been working on a project that will be fun for consumers and at the same time provide foot traffic to local businesses, professional services, and local events.  It all begins with purchasing a Charm Bracket for only $5 at one of these three locations:

You can also purchase a bracelet for Mothers Day at the first Gresham Farmers Market of the season next Saturday from 8:30am to 2:00pm at the Historic Downtown Gresham Business Association booth.  Then you can purchase charms (no more than $2 each) from a variety of local businesses and at the Gresham Area Chamber of Commerce.  So get a bracelet and start collecting! What a fun thing to do with your kids.  Visit a business you have never been to or one you have not gone to in a long time.  Other communities have had great success with this program and it is already taking off in Gresham.  What can be more fun than supporting your community!
