BAND of LOCALS
"Saving You Money on Products / Services from Around Mecosta County Since 2009"
The Buy Local First phenomenon is gaining momentum in Mecosta County! Inan effort to gain market share for Mecosta County businesses and service providers, a group of volunteers representing all areas in our county initiated the Band of Locals – Buy Local First discount campaign.
The Band of Locals are blue wrist Bands embossed with Band of Locals on them and are available to purchase for $10 at participating locally owned businesses and the Mecosta County Area Chamber of Commerce. With no expiration date, the blue Bands in return, allow you to receive discounted savings, etc at participating businesses throughout Mecosta County to promote shop locally. Participating businesses offering discounts and an opportunity to purchase bands is available online at www.bandoflocals.com. As the Band of Locals campaign grows, so will the businesses participating so be sure to check online for monthly updates.
The Band of Locals is having their kickoff event on Friday, August 28th at The Comstock House located at 414 Maple Street in Big Rapids at 8:00 a.m. The committee will then “band together” and jump on the “band wagon” (decorated MOTA bus) and travel to other communities within Mecosta County with promotional materials spreading the word to Buy Local with the Band of Locals!
