The 2023 version of Shop Local-OPOLY — a new twist on shopping locally — is underway, and local businesses are ready.

The game, which coincides with the holiday shopping season, is like Monopoly, with the stops along the game board being local businesses to visit over the next couple of months. The game runs from Sept. 29 through Dec. 1.

The Shop Local-OPOLY board is made up of companies that are shaping the community’s unique character and personality through their businesses.

By participating in the game, you are not only helping local businesses — for every $100 spent, roughly $68 to $73 of it returns to local activity — but you also have a chance to win as much as $650 in gift cards from local shops and eateries this shopping season.
