Reasons to show up for The Great Giveaway

Do you love UConn basketball? Have you ever met Jonathan the UConn Husky mascot? Would you enjoy a wine and chocolate tasting for 25 people at Miranda Vineyard? Can you use a $50 gift certificate to Moscarillo’s Garden Shop or a chance to Pursue the Clues?

How about a Series 1 Apple watch? Or LED lightbulbs? Or a smoke detector and fire extinguisher? Or an Amazon echo dot? Have you ever played golf at the Mohegan Sun Golf Course? Do you enjoy grilling on a Lowe’s grill now that summer is almost here?

Could you use a Gift Certificate to Stadium Systems plus 12 embroidered hats for your colleagues? Would a one year digital subscription from the Republican-American interest you? How about a gift basket with an electric toothbrush and white strips? Or even additional gift certificates from a variety of merchants?

Maybe the surprises not listed will entice you. We cordially invite you, your colleagues, friends and families to a giant Business After Hours with some new, exciting touches. You do not have to be a Chamber member since this is open to everyone.

It’s The Great Giveaway Business Showcase this Thursday, June 1 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Chatterley’s Banquet Facility, 371 Pinewoods Road, Torrington.

The spotlight will focus on a variety of businesses located throughout the region and beyond. You can spend the evening enjoying the excellent food prepared by Chatterley’s, purchase a beverage or two, listen to the Master of Ceremonies, Jacque Williams, with music throughout the evening. It’s all free.

Most importantly, you can catch up with the businesses and learn about their services and products. Each has donated an item for the door prizes to be given out every 15 minutes from 6:15 p.m. through 8 p.m. You must be present to win.

Thank you to the generous event and media sponsors helping business work together.
