Find the Downtown Wheaton Santa hidden in each participating business (list below) 12/5 through December 24th. Anyone who spots the Santa will be allowed to enter their name into the merchant’s Santa box for the drawing for one of four prizes:

1. Grand Prize Gift Basket with over $500 worth of prizes from all participating downtown businesses
2. $50.00 in downtown Wheaton gift certificates
3. $25.00 in downtown Wheaton gift certificates
4. $15.00 in downtown Wheaton gift certificates

Shoppers have the opportunity to enter to win over 800 times for free! If you visit all the participating stores each day of the contest, find the Santa, and submit your raffle entry, you will have entered 840 times, significantly increasing your chances of winning! Of course you might also be accused of stalking Santa.

Entries will be drawn randomly and an individual can only win one of the four prizes. If a name is pulled twice during the official drawing, the shopper will win only the prize from the first pull. The winners will be chosen in January and announced in the January Downtown Wheaton Shoppers’ Club newsletter.
