February 2012 LOCAL LOVE Promotion

We're celebrating the arrival of the Snow Train to Saratoga Springs and North Creek!

These locales are ready to show you a little local love.  Buy something from one place (or ride the Snow Train), show your receipt (or train ticket) to the next place and you’ll get a nice discount on a purchase there.

Fill out the special “I Love Local” card and drop it in the box at the checkout counter for a chance to win our LOCAL LOVE drawing taking place each week in February.

The more places you shop, the more chance you have to win!

A Grand Prize will be an overnight stay at the majestic Garnet Hill Lodge!  Check out our facebook page at EcoLocalLiving to see who won each week!
