Watch out for $2 bills

The Sundance Economic Development Task Force will again be running a promotion this holiday season to bring awareness to the importance of “shopping small” within your community.

From the beginning of November, watch out for the special $2 bills that will begin circulating within the community – a rare currency that stands out in a stack of bills.

Sundance State Bank has ordered these bills to be distributed and members of the community are encouraged to shop and spend them at local businesses in and around Sundance.

The idea is that shoppers will notice when they are handed a $2 bill and will also notice when and where they spend it. Citizens are encouraged to spend them at local businesses and watch as they continue to circulate from individual to business and back again.

The idea behind the promotion is for each $2 to be a reminder that small businesses provide jobs to friends and family, donate money to local needs and make the community a great place to live.

Help promote the businesses where you spend your $2 by posting a picture on Facebook with a tag for the business and the hashtag #Sundance2Bucks.

Doing so will enter you into a drawing to receive $250 in Sundance Bucks, sponsored by Sundance State Bank. The winner of the raffle will be announced on December 16.
