  • Free Choice Spaces please purchase something of your choice.
  • Try to support the local or hometown independent shops but also a number of our establishments are franchised by local owners and large corporations hire local workers. Those living in other communities are welcome to support them.
  • When you have rows in any direction submit for a drawing.  Total covered card will be a separate drawing.
  • It would be nice if you can have the clerk or server put the x on your card, it shows others that we support them. They must use their own pen or pencil.
