Clear Lake is gearing up for a special celebration during Earth Week with the Grow Clear Lake Shop Hop from April 15 to 22. Shopping local is vital for nurturing community, growing the economy, and preserving neighborhood charm. This shop hop will support our local economy, showcase Clear Lake’s retailers, and spread the joy of gardening.
How It Works
Participating is easy: visit any of the 13 local stores involved and receive a free packet of seeds to start your garden. By completing the retail checklist and visiting each shop throughout the week, you’ll be entered to win a grand prize gift card basket filled with $20 gift cards from each store, valued at $260. You can snag your retail checklist at any participating business, or the Chamber office, 205 Main Avenue.
Supporting Local Businesses
The heart of Grow Clear Lake lies in supporting the local businesses that make the community thrive. From cozy coffee shops to eclectic boutiques, each store contributes to the neighborhood’s character and vitality.
Preserving Neighborhood Charm
Shopping local isn’t just about goods; it’s about preserving the essence of Clear Lake. These businesses aren’t just places to shop; they’re hubs for connection and community. By supporting them, we help maintain the distinct charm that makes Clear Lake a special place to live and visit.
