The Grand Prize winner is Patsy Howard, who went home for almost $1,200 in prizes for buying local.

Buy Local thanks all Currituck County businesses who graciously donated prizes to the Buy Local contest. Buy Local also thanks Currituck County residents for buying local and supporting the local economy. Buying local really does make a difference, and each time Currituck County residents make buying local a priority, that is more money that goes back to the community in the form of services.
The Buy Local 4th quarter contest is now underway and Currituck County residents can enter anytime between now and December 31st. All residents of Currituck County are invited to send 5 receipts or take 5 pictures at of you buying local at area businesses and mail them to Buy Local. Buying local gives you the chance to win some great prizes so visit the Buy Local Currituck website (www.buylocalcurrituck.com) and discover just how easy it is to support the community and win.
When citizens buy local, they can help revive Currituck's economy. In turn, locally-owned and operated businesses continually pump hard-earned dollars back into the local economy by way of taxes, payrolls and purchases. Remittances from the state for sales, gas and other taxes will increase. This means more money for schools, services, law enforcement, emergency services, and new jobs in our community.
